Denise Hoffman’s research focuses on the employment, program participation, and health insurance of adults with disabilities. Her current research includes an analysis of the Benefit Offset National Demonstration, which tests the effects of an alternative benefit schedule on Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) beneficiaries’ employment and DI benefit receipt. In addition, she is conducting several investigator-initiated studies as part of the Social Security Administration Retirement and Disability Research Consortium. She is also evaluating a state system of home and community based service provision.
Hoffman’s past research includes impact analyses of federally-funded initiatives intended to help people with disabilities become self-sufficient, including the Promoting Opportunity Demonstration, Ticket to Work, the Demonstration to Maintain Independence and Employment, and the Non-Elderly Disabled Housing Voucher Program. Other work include an analysis of employer strategies to connect low-income workers to supportive services and Medicaid analyses.
Hoffman, who joined Mathematica in 2010, holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will host its inaugural Health Equity Conference this week in Washington, DC. Mathematica is proud to partner with CMS to advance health equity through research and data analysis that centers community perspectives and values.
