A panel of experts from Mathematica, Sedgwick, and the state of California will discuss the promise of state-based systems from the perspectives of researchers, policymakers, and practitioners. Reporting on studies of state disability insurance (SDI) and workers’ compensation (WC) systems in California and Rhode Island, our speakers will present new evidence on:

Reporting on studies of state disability insurance (SDI) and workers’ compensation (WC) systems in California and Rhode Island, our speakers will present new evidence on:
- The risk of SSDI entry for SDI and WC claimants
- The extent to which initial data on the characteristics of SDI or WC claimants can be used to predict their risk of entering SSDI
- The availability and utilization of return-to-work supports in state SDI and WC systems
- How states, including those without SDI, could help workers keep their jobs, maintain their economic independence, and save billions of taxpayer dollars
