“…We also support other policy analysts who suggest a Disabled Worker Tax Credit modeled upon the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) as a solution to the work incentives problem (Burkhauser, 1997;Mashaw & Reno, 1996). The EITC uses the tax system to subsidize the earnings of low-wage workers with children.…”

“…An estimated 3.1 million low-income working people with disabilities would receive the credit, at a cost of about $3 billion in 1996. The average subsidy would be about $1,000 per year over any subsidy the individual might receive from the existing EITC (Mashaw & Reno, 1996).…”

“…Social Security programs that provide cash assistance to citizens with psychiatric and other disabilities contain financial incentives to encourage employment (SSA, 2001). However, these programs have not been particularly effective in promoting employment for people with disabilities and actually create barriers to employment by keeping people unemployed or in low-wage, low-status jobs (Lewin-VHI, 1995;Mashaw & Reno, 1996;National Council on Disability, 1997;Noble, 1998;O'Day, 1999;Polak & Warner, 1996;Rutman, 1994;U.S. General Accounting Office, 1987, 1996a, 1996b, 1996c.…”

Does U.S. federal policy support employment and recovery for people with psychiatric disabilities?

Evidence suggests that a high percentage of people with a psychiatric disability can recover--find meaningful work, develop positive relationships, and participate fully in their communities. Evidence also suggests that work is an essential component of recovery. However, few people with a serious psychiatric disability are actually employed and most of those who are employed work only part-time at barely minimum wages. To assess the impact of federal programs such as Social Security Disability Insurance, vocational rehabilitation, medical insurance, and psychiatric services upon employment, we conducted a qualitative study of 16 employed and 16 unemployed individuals with psychiatric disabilities. All of our participants had disabilities severe enough to qualify them for Social Security Disability benefits. They told us that current federal policies and practices encouraged employment and integration of only a few participants, in a particular stage of their recovery, and placed significant barriers in the employment path of others.

“…Here, we estimate the level of economic well-being for the population of women who began receiving SSDI benefits in 1980-81 and describe the trend in their well-being over the subsequent decade. Because this SSDI population is a subset-and by some estimates a minority-of the workingage population with functional limitations (Mashaw and Reno, 1996), our results apply to women whose work limitations are sufficiently severe to establish eligibility for earnings-replacement cash benefits from SSDI, but not to all women with health limitations.…”

This study provides an assessment of the intertemporal economic well-being of a representative sample of women who began receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in 1980-81. We compare their economic circumstances over the 1982-1991 period with those of disabled men who also began receiving SSDI in those years and with those of a matched sample of nondisabled women who had sufficient work experience for benefit eligibility should they have become disabled. In 1982, the new SSDI women beneficiaries were a relatively poor segment of U.S. society: one quarter of them lived in poverty and 48 percent had incomes below 150 percent of the poverty line. As of 1991, over one-half of these disabled women lived in families with income below 150 percent of the poverty line. Social Security benefits to disabled women have played an important, and growing, role in sustaining economic status. Nevertheless, the level of well-being of these women lies substantially below that of the comparison groups. We statistically relate the poverty status of these new female recipients to sociodemographic factors that would be expected to contribute to lower levels of well-being, and we simulate the effect of Social Security benefits in reducing poverty and replacing earnings. We suggest a number of SSDI-related policy changes that could, at low cost, reduce poverty among the poorest women.

“…Second, public law scholars have in recent decades identified and analysed ‘internal administrative law’, that is, the body of norms that apply to govern routine administrative decision‐making. Various scholars have recommended that a range of internal mechanisms could (or now do) serve to improve the quality and accountability of UK administrative decision‐making. These include: openness and transparency, official guidelines of ‘principles of good administration’, promoting a ‘user perspective’ and ‘proportionate dispute resolution’ within public administration, and procedural innovations such as public meetings of regulator boards (including the Environment Agency) and advisory committees on ‘consumer engagement’.…”

The Symbiosis of Property and English Environmental Law – Property Rights in a Public Law Context

This article argues that environmental regimes entailing considerable administrative discretion are now serving to contextualise and partly to constitute property rights in English law. In particular, rights to use land are ‘democratised’ to varying degrees through the administration of environmental regulation, and are adapted to land‐use problems on an evolving basis. In return, property rights affect environmental regulation, through legal protections for property interests, although the nature of the discretion exercised within environmental regimes seems to determine the kind and extent of this symbiotic influence. As a result, environmental law challenges property scholars to reflect on the impact of administrative decision‐making on property rights, conceptually, doctrinally and in terms of its legitimacy. At the same time, environmental lawyers need to take seriously the nature and legal treatment of property rights in the application and analysis of modern environmental law.
