Employment Intervention Demonstration Program (EIDP)
/ Personal Economies Sub-Study
The EIDP Personal Economy Sub-Study (PES) was a supplemental survey to the larger EIDP Multi-Site Study, funded by the Social Security Administration. It was designed to collect detailed financial information from respondents in an effort to more accurately characterize their personal economic situations. The PES data enrich the core EIDP study with a series of more specific items regarding monthly finances, including all types of income, expenses, and assets. The PES survey was designed to replace the section regarding finances in the Common Protocol Baseline and Six-Month Follow-up Interviews. It is suggested for use by programs or individuals who want more detailed information about consumers' personal economies. The supplemental survey includes eight sections:
- Detailed Sources and Amounts of Monthly Income
- Health and Mental Health Service Utilization
- Other Types of Economic Assistance
- Personal Assets
- Detailed Monthly Expenses
- SSI Beneficiary History
- SSDI Beneficiary History
- SSI/SSDI Contacts
