Overview: Henry Ireys will present an overview of the Demonstration to Maintain Independence and Employment (DMIE).

Ireys will discuss the rationale for DMIE, review its core goals, and describe how four states have implemented the program. Gilbert Gimm will present preliminary quantitative and qualitative findings from the national DMIE evaluation. He also will review the evaluation design and use of random assignment, discuss program impacts on employment and federal disability outcomes, and highlight lessons learned.
