People with Disabilities and COVID-19 Economic Impact Payments
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.
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.
