How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect the education and employment of young people with disabilities?: findings from the Promoting Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income (PROMISE) evaluation
In March 2020, the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) prompted the President to declare a national emergency in the United States, quickly followed by a series of restrictions on the operations of non-essential businesses and public services. The economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic (hereafter referred to as the pandemic) were distributed unequally among workers. Workers with disabilities were particularly hurt by the economic downturn. In this report, we examine the extent to which the pandemic affected the outcomes of young people with disabilities who were enrolled in the Promoting Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income (PROMISE) evaluation as well as how it affected the impacts, including the ability to measure impacts, of the PROMISE programs.
