She is skilled in qualitative research methods, including designing and implementing qualitative data collection, synthesizing and analyzing qualitative data, and translating research findings to inform public policy and improve program performance.
Denny-Brown has policy and programmatic expertise in all Social Security Administration (SSA) programs, particularly Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance. She also has extensive research and program evaluation experience. Currently, she is directing Mathematica’s evaluation of the 14(c) Transition program, which provides technical and financial resources to help SourceAmerica-affiliated nonprofit agencies eliminate the use of 14(c) special minimum wage certificates. Denny-Brown is also leading the Best Practices study conducted under the second national evaluation of the Money Follows the Person (MFP) demonstration, funded by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. This study will identify strategies, policies, and program innovations that have helped MFP states accelerate system-change efforts promoting the use of home and community-based services over institutional services.
Before joining Mathematica in 2006, Denny-Brown served as a social insurance specialist with SSA and as a mental health specialist at McLean Hospital. She holds an M.P.A. from the University of Connecticut and is pursuing a Master of Public Health degree from Harvard University.
This report summarizes the progress of the Money Follows the Person (MFP) demonstration in the 44 grantee states (including the District of Columbia) that were actively transitioning MFP participants in 2016. This report also describes participant quality of life before and after transitioning.
