Stay-at-work/return-to-work: key facts, critical information gaps, and current practices and proposals

The purpose of this report is to provide useful information to US federal and state policymakers who are interested in piloting interventions to improve stay-at-work/return-to-work (SAW/RTW) and workforce attachment outcomes among people with disabilities. The first part of the report summarizes the most promising current job-retention strategies implemented by individual states. This is followed by a summary of current proposals for demonstrations related to SAW/RTW and the workforce attachment of people with disabilities, including a discussion of the demonstration and waiver authorities required to conduct them. Also included is an annotated bibliography of relevant literature on early intervention and workforce retention of people with disabilities.
