Abstract: The Supported Employment Demonstration (SED) is a multi-component intervention offered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to people who alleged a mental impairment on an unsuccessful application for disability benefits. SSA seeks to answer the primary question of whether offering the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model of employment services integrated with behavioral health and other services and supports results in employment and clinical recovery that leads to less demand for disability benefits. This enrollment report describes the population of eligible individuals who enrolled in the SED and compares this group to the greater study-eligible population of disability applicants alleging a mental impairment who received an initial denial of benefits. The enrollment analysis describes the types of individuals who enrolled, how they compare with non-enrollees, and the factors associated with enrollment. The findings contextualize factors associated with a decision to enroll and clarify the generalizability of outcomes to understand the SED’s impact and resulting policy implications
