Summary

This study tests a program called RETAINWORKS, which helps people who have a work disability—an injury, illness, or medical condition that makes it hard to keep working. The program combines medical care coordination, return-to-work support, and financial incentives for both workers and their doctors. The goal is to see if this support helps people stay employed and avoid long-term reliance on disability benefits.

What could go wrong
The trial is a demonstration project, and results may vary by state or individual. Success depends on many factors, and the program may not work for everyone or be cost-effective.
