Michael Morris hosts Ari Ne'eman, a PhD candidate in health policy at Harvard, to discuss disability-inclusive employment policy. Ne'eman highlights the ADA's success in rights protection but notes limited progress in employment. He attributes this to benefit programs' unfriendliness to work and the need for broader structural changes. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated labor force participation among people with disabilities, particularly through telework. Ne'eman's research suggests Medicaid expansion increased SSDI enrollment among older workers, potentially due to improved health insurance access. He advocates for a partial disability option to support labor force participation, emphasizing the need for universal design and federal government leadership in promoting telework.
