The Accelerated Benefits Demonstration: Impacts on the Employment of Disability Insurance Beneficiaries
利用加速福利示范数据，研究在残疾保险24个月医疗保险等待期内提供医疗保险和额外服务对受益人就业的影响。发现医疗保险单独未增加就业，但额外就业服务在第二年内显著提升就业和收入，第三年效果消失。
We use data from the Accelerated Benefits demonstration to estimate the impacts of providing newly entitled disability insurance (DI) beneficiaries with health insurance and additional services during the DI program's 24-month Medicare waiting period. While health insurance alone did not increase employment, the additional employment services appeared to have positive short-term impacts on labor market activity. We find a statistically significant increase in employment and earnings in the second calendar year after random assignment; although these findings disappear in the third calendar year. Our results may have implications for disability reform proposals and provisions within the Affordable Care Act.
