Evaluating the Effect of Work Incentives Benefits Counseling on Employment Outcomes of Transition-Age and Young Adult Supplemental Security Income Recipients with Intellectual Disabilities: A Case Control Study
2021
Overview
Purpose Work incentives benefits counseling (WIBC) can be a strong facilitator contributing to improved employment outcomes for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) by providing information about how income may affect disability benefits eligibility. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of WIBC as a VR intervention to improve on employment outcomes and earnings of transition-age youth and young adults with ID who are Supplemental Security Income benefits recipients using a propensity score matching analysis approach. Propensity score matching using logistic regression analysis and the nearest neighbour method was conducted to equalize the treatment (received WIBC) and control groups (not received WIBC) on the six prominent demographic covariates. The treatment group had higher rates of employment, higher hourly wages than the control group, while the treatment group worked less hours per week than the control group. Methods Propensity score matching using logistic regression analysis and the nearest neighbour method was conducted to equalize the treatment (received WIBC) and control groups (not received WIBC) on the six prominent demographic covariates. Results The treatment group had higher rates of employment, higher hourly wages than the control group, while the treatment group worked less hours per week than the control group. Conclusions Findings of the present study can be used by policy makers, transition specialists, rehabilitation counselors, and other disability service providers to increase employment outcomes and earnings for individuals with ID through WIBC services. Future research and practice implications are provided.
