Cost Efficiency to Taxpayers

231,204 supported employees funded by vocational rehabilitation throughout the entire U.S. from 2002 to 2007.

Results:

• Average monthly net benefit to taxpayers of $251.34 (i.e., an annual net benefit of $3,016.08 per supported employee) and generated a benefit-cost ratio of 1.46.
• Even individuals with the least cost-efficient disability (i.e., traumatic brain injuries) returned to taxpayers a monthly net benefit of $111.62.
• Supported employees with multiple conditions were as cost-efficient as individuals with only one disability (i.e., benefit-cost ratios of 1.49 versus 1.46, respectively)
