BOND Implementation and Evaluation: Stage 2 Early Assessment Report

This Stage 2 Early Assessment Report is the first implementation report on the Stage 2 evaluation of the Benefit Offset National Demonstration (BOND). This report describes the infrastructure put in place for Stage 2, the recruitment and enrollment of SSDI beneficiaries into the demonstration, the characteristics of study volunteers, the services they received in the early part of the study period, and their experiences in using the offset. The next report on Stage 2 (scheduled for release in 2014) will describe implementation and the experiences of Stage 2 subjects over a longer time period and will present the first set of impact results for Stage 2 of the demonstration.
