Based on responses to its recruitment packets, MPR randomly assign 5,000 SSDI and
concurrent beneficiaries to treatment group 2 (T2). Participants in T2 receive the
same $1 for $2 offset as participants in T1, but if the SSDI benefit is reduced to
zero under the offset for 12 consecutive months, we will terminate the participant’s
entitlement to SSDI. If a T2 participant reapplies and we award a new period of disability,
then the beneficiary is eligible again for the POD offset beginning with their new
month of entitlement (MOE). T2 participants also receive benefits counseling from
a WIC.
NOTE: Current SSDI rules apply to the reapplication process. The POD rules do not apply.
