Washington, D.C. — Newly proposed work requirements for Medicaid recipients could have devastating consequences for people living with brain injury. While policymakers may argue that these measures promote workforce participation and personal responsibility, the reality is far more complex for people living with invisible disabilities.
“The effects of brain injury are often unseen to outside observers,” said Rick Willis, President and CEO of the Brain Injury Association of America. “Executive dysfunction, memory loss, communication difficulties, and behavioral changes can make it difficult for survivors to maintain consistent employment. Many people living with the lifelong effects of brain injury are currently using Medicaid and would face significant challenges without accommodations to the current proposal.”
Brain injury can develop into a chronic health condition, which has lifelong impacts on employment. According to research from the CDC, most people (55%) with moderate to severe TBI do not have a job 5 years after their injury.
