A case study approach will be used to examine differences in: the populations served; the components of the suitable employment definitions, including examples of how these definitions are used in each particular program; the narrowness or breadth of each definition of suitable employment; where possible, reported rates of return to work, program exits and/or job retention. Applicability of insights gained will be discussed for the SSDI program.
