Abstract

ABSTRACT To offset the financial burden of COVID-19, Congress authorized stimulus payments. Because people with disabilities (PWD) incur disability-related costs, these payments likely did not offer the same economic security as for people without disabilities (PWOD). Using the Census Household Pulse Survey, this study examined how PWD and PWOD used their stimulus. Controlling for income and other characteristics, PWD were significantly more likely to spend their checks on basic needs, like food and rent, and less likely to spend on second-order items like charity or savings. These results suggest that future stimulus efforts should consider an increased amount for PWD.

残疾人和COVID-19经济影响支付

摘要为了抵消新冠肺炎带来的财政负担，国会批准了刺激支出。由于残疾人（PWD）会产生与残疾相关的费用，这些付款可能无法提供与非残疾人（PWOD）相同的经济保障。本研究利用人口普查家庭脉搏调查，调查了PWD和PWOD如何使用他们的刺激措施。在控制收入和其他特征的情况下，残疾人更有可能将支票用于基本需求，如食物和租金，而不太可能用于慈善或储蓄等二阶项目。这些结果表明，未来的刺激措施应该考虑增加PWD的金额。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
