Abstract:
People with disabilities are often at a distinct disadvantage in the labor market. Public and private insurance programs, and public assistance programs, may replace lost income and provide health insurance coverage for severely disabled workers, but programs need to be improved both to provide more timely and adequate assistance to people who cannot work and to provide needed supports to people with disabilities who can work.
