Section 14(c) of the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act has been a controversial policy that allows people with disabilities to be paid below the prevailing minimum wage, but its impact on employment remains unknown despite ongoing national debates about its repeal.</p><h3>Objective</h3><p>To estimate whether state-level repeal of Section 14(c) was associated with employment-related outcomes for people with cognitive disability.</p><h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3><p>This quasi-experimental, synthetic difference-in-differences study used individual-level data from the 2010-2019 American Community Surveys. Outcomes before and after subminimum wage law repeal in 2 states (New Hampshire and Maryland) that repealed Section 14(c) were compared with a synthetic group of control states that did not implement repeal. Individuals aged 18 to 45 years who reported having a cognitive disability were included. Data were analyzed from May 2023 to May 2024.</p><h3>Exposure</h3><p>Repeal of Section 14(c) in New Hampshire (2015) and Maryland (2016).</p><h3>Main Outcomes and Measures</h3><p>Primary outcomes were labor force participation and employment rates. Secondary outcomes were annual wages, annual hours worked, hourly wages, and proportion earning above state minimum wage among employed individuals.</p><h3>Results</h3><p>The sample included 450 838 individuals. Of these, 253 157 (55.7%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 31.3 (8.4) years. In state-specific analyses, New Hampshire’s labor force participation and employment had a statistically significant increase by 5.2 percentage points (β = 0.05; 95% CI, 0-0.10;<i>P</i> = .04) and 7 percentage points (β = 0.07; 95% CI, 0.01-0.13;<i>P</i> = .03), respectively, following Section 14(c) repeal. Labor force participation and employment both increased in Maryland, although estimates were not statistically significant. Pooling both states, Section 14(c) repeal was associated with a statistically significant 4.7–percentage point (β = 0.05; 95% CI, 0.01-0.08;<i>P</i> = .01) increase in labor force participation and a nonsignificant 4.3–percentage point (β = 0.04; 95% CI, 0-0.09;<i>P</i> = .07) increase in employment.</p><h3>Conclusions and Relevance</h3><p>In this study, repeal of Section 14(c), a policy allowing subminimum wages for people with disabilities, led to increases in labor force participation, though with heterogeneity at the state level. These findings suggest the importance of state-level factors in shaping program effects, especially as national-level Section 14(c) repeal is being debated.</p>" /><meta name="citation_journal_title" content="JAMA Health Forum" /><meta name="citation_journal_abbrev" content="JAMA Health Forum" /><meta name="citation_volume" content="5" /><meta name="citation_issue" content="11" /><meta name="citation_publication_date" content="2024/11/01" /><meta name="citation_publisher" content="American Medical Association" /><meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_title=Relationships between level of disability and receipt of preventive health services.; citation_author=Diab ME; citation_author=Johnston MV; citation_journal_title=Arch Phys Med Rehabil; citation_year=2004; citation_volume=85; citation_issue=5; citation_pages=749-757; " /><meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_title=Mobility impairments and use of screening and preventive services.; citation_author=Iezzoni LI; citation_author=McCarthy EP; citation_author=Davis RB; citation_author=Siebens H; citation_journal_title=Am J Public Health; citation_year=2000; citation_volume=90; citation_issue=6; citation_pages=955-961; " /><meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_title=Health disparities among adults with physical disabilities or cognitive limitations compared to individuals with no disabilities in the United States.; citation_author=Reichard A; citation_author=Stolzle H; citation_author=Fox MH; citation_journal_title=Disabil Health J; citation_year=2011; citation_volume=4; citation_issue=2; citation_pages=59-67; " /><meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_title=Self-rated health and healthy days: examining the “disability paradox”.; citation_author=Drum CE; citation_author=Horner-Johnson W; citation_author=Krahn GL; citation_journal_title=Disabil Health J; citation_year=2008; citation_volume=1; citation_issue=2; citation_pages=71-78; " /><meta name="citation_reference" content="citation_title=Mental health following acquisition of disability in adulthood—the impact of wealth.; citation_author=Kavanagh AM; citation_author=Aitken Z; citation_author=Krnjacki L; citation_author=LaMontagne AD; citation_author=Bentley R; citation_author=Milner A; citation_journal_title=PLoS One; citation_year=2015; citation_volume=10; citation_issue=10; " /><meta name="citation_reference" content="US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

<p><strong>Importance</strong> <span>People with disabilities experience pervasive health disparities driven by adverse social determinants of health, such as unemployment. Section 14(c) of the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act has been a controversial policy that allows people with disabilities to be paid below the prevailing minimum wage, but its impact on employment remains unknown despite ongoing national debates about its repeal.</span></p><p><strong>Objective</strong> <span>To estimate whether state-level repeal of Section 14(c) was associated with employment-related outcomes for people with cognitive disability.</span></p><p><strong>Design, Setting, and Participants</strong> <span>This quasi-experimental, synthetic difference-in-differences study used individual-level data from the 2010-2019 American Community Surveys. Outcomes before and after subminimum wage law repeal in 2 states (New Hampshire and Maryland) that repealed Section 14(c) were compared with a synthetic group of control states that did not implement repeal. Individuals aged 18 to 45 years who reported having a cognitive disability were included. Data were analyzed from May 2023 to May 2024.</span></p><p><strong>Exposure</strong> <span>Repeal of Section 14(c) in New Hampshire (2015) and Maryland (2016).</span></p><p><strong>Main Outcomes and Measures</strong> <span>Primary outcomes were labor force participation and employment rates. Secondary outcomes were annual wages, annual hours worked, hourly wages, and proportion earning above state minimum wage among employed individuals.</span></p><p><strong>Results</strong> <span>The sample included 450 838 individuals. Of these, 253 157 (55.7%) were male, and the mean (SD) age was 31.3 (8.4) years. In state-specific analyses, New Hampshire’s labor force participation and employment had a statistically significant increase by 5.2 percentage points (β = 0.05; 95% CI, 0-0.10; <i>P</i> = .04) and 7 percentage points (β = 0.07; 95% CI, 0.01-0.13; <i>P</i> = .03), respectively, following Section 14(c) repeal. Labor force participation and employment both increased in Maryland, although estimates were not statistically significant. Pooling both states, Section 14(c) repeal was associated with a statistically significant 4.7–percentage point (β = 0.05; 95% CI, 0.01-0.08; <i>P</i> = .01) increase in labor force participation and a nonsignificant 4.3–percentage point (β = 0.04; 95% CI, 0-0.09; <i>P</i> = .07) increase in employment.</span></p><p><strong>Conclusions and Relevance</strong> <span>In this study, repeal of Section 14(c), a policy allowing subminimum wages for people with disabilities, led to increases in labor force participation, though with heterogeneity at the state level. These findings suggest the importance of state-level factors in shaping program effects, especially as national-level Section 14(c) repeal is being debated.</span></p> <div class="movable-ad-target bta"> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010678"></a> <div class="h3 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text thm-col sb-sc"> Introduction </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010679"></a> <p class="para">People with disabilities face significant barriers to accessing quality health care and experience poor health outcomes.

However, barriers to employment and economic mobility for people with disabilities are pervasive. In addition to lack of supports and accommodations, discriminatory attitudes about productivity limit economic opportunities among people with disabilities.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r13" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">13</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#aoi240070r14" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">14</a></sup> These attitudes have informed policymaking, as in the case of Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standard Act of 1938, which allows employers (who hold certificates issued by the US Department of Labor) to pay people with disabilities below the federal minimum wage. Workers employed in Section 14(c) jobs generally have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) and work in facility-based programs with controlled work environments. Work in these sheltered workshops, which ideally allow people with disabilities to acquire skills and services that would move them into more general work settings, typically involve repetitive activities, such as folding cardboard boxes, packaging products, and sorting recycling materials.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010681"></a> <p class="para">Section 14(c) is controversial. Proponents argue that repealing Section 14(c) would disincentivize employers from hiring people with disabilities, thereby decreasing their economic opportunities.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r15" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">15</a></sup> Opponents of Section 14(c) cite potentially discriminatory and segregatory practices and lack of worker protections<sup><a href="#aoi240070r16" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">16</a></sup> and argue that, with more investment in training, people with disabilities can be placed in integrated employment with equal wages. In this context, several states have repealed Section 14(c) in recent years, and the policy was recently scrutinized in a Government Accountability Office report finding significant federal labor law violations and $15 million in unpaid back wages by Section 14(c) employers.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r17" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">17</a></sup> Further, a federal bill was introduced in Congress in 2021 to phase out all Section 14(c) jobs nationwide.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r18" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">18</a></sup> Despite the long history of Section 14(c) legislation and contemporary debates about its continued appropriateness, little is known about the effects of repealing Section 14(c)—or the effects of policies targeting employment among people with disabilities more generally—on economic outcomes among people with disabilities. We assess the effects of state-level Section 14(c) repeals on key social determinants of health—labor force participation, employment, and earnings—using a quasi-experimental research design.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010682"></a> <div class="h3 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text thm-col sb-sc"> Methods </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010683"></a> <div class="h4 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text "> Data Sources and Study Population </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010684"></a> <p class="para">We used survey data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS).<sup><a href="#aoi240070r19" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">19</a></sup> The ACS is an annual, cross-sectional survey of 1% of US households, collecting information on social, economic, housing, and demographic characteristics. Race and ethnicity data were self-reported by participants in the ACS using a combination of checkboxes and write-in responses. We examined the period of 2010 to 2019, which begins after the Great Recession and before the COVID-19 pandemic, the latter of which introduced data collection challenges in the ACS and resulted in historic breaks in labor market outcomes among people with disabilities.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r20" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">20</a></sup> Institutional review board review was not required given use of public deidentified data.

To distinguish this population in our study, we focused on adults aged 18 to 45 years answering yes to the ACS question, “Because of a physical, mental, or emotional problem, do you have serious difficulty remembering, concentrating, or making decisions?” We chose this age range for 2 reasons. First, cognitive disabilities beyond the age of 45 years are more likely to include acquired and age-related causes, like stroke and dementia, which are less relevant to Section 14(c). Second, analysis of the National Health Interview Survey demonstrated that nearly 70% of individuals aged 18 to 45 years answering yes to the census-based measure of cognitive disability were reported to have intellectual disabilities, a proportion higher than for other age groups (eMethods in <a class="supplement-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-supplemental" href="#note-AOI240070-1">Supplement 1</a>); this method of identifying the population of interest when direct markers are not available follows other work.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r21" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">21</a></sup></p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010686"></a> <div class="h4 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text "> Outcomes </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010687"></a> <p class="para">Our primary outcomes were labor force participation and employment.

Synthetic DID combines the advantages of DID and synthetic control methods. The DID component of synthetic DID allows the preintervention period to have different outcome levels between the treatment and the control units. The synthetic control component of synthetic DID reweights all control units in the preintervention period to create a single matched synthetic unit that imposes parallel trends by construction, addressing a key assumption of DID required to support causal inference. Synthetic DID differs from traditional DID in that the control group is generated using unit-specific and time-specific weights that are calculated to generate comparisons that follow the same trends in outcomes (not necessarily levels) in the preperiod. The unit weights impose parallel trends and time weights improve precision by reducing outsize effects of time periods that are highly different relative to posttreatment periods. Synthetic DID differs from traditional synthetic control methods in its use of unit-fixed effects and time-specific weights. Unit-fixed effects (in this case, state-fixed effects) improve robustness by adjusting for unobserved state-specific characteristics of control states. Additionally, synthetic DID does not impose equal levels of outcomes in the preperiod as synthetic control does. The synthetic DID estimator has been used in other policy evaluation studies,<sup><a href="#aoi240070r26" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">26</a></sup> and simulations suggest efficiency that weakly dominates DID or synthetic controls alone.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r25" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">25</a></sup></p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010694"></a> <p class="para">To facilitate computation, we collapsed our individual-level ACS data to the state-year level, using ACS sampling weights to compute averages.

Pooled analyses combining both states showed a significant increase in labor force participation and similarly large but nonsignificant increase in employment rates among persons with cognitive disabilities following Section 14(c) repeal. Falsification tests examining effects among people with no cognitive disabilities and people with noncognitive disabilities yielded smaller, nonsignificant estimates, suggesting that our findings are likely not explained by any other state-specific employment policy. To our knowledge, this study is the first to assess the effects of repealing Section 14(c).</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010713"></a> <p class="para">The results have several policy implications. First, the significant increase in overall labor force participation may reflect the inclusive nature of repealing Section 14(c), as it brings people with cognitive disabilities previously not connected with employment resources and training into the labor force (with a potential lag in subsequent active employment). Second, among the findings with no statistical significance, the 95% CIs of employment rate in pooled analyses (β = 0.04; 95% CI, 0-0.09) and Maryland’s labor force participation rate (β = 0.04; 95% CI, −0.02 to 0.10) seem to rule out any large negative effects of Section 14(c) repeal in these contexts. This is relevant, as negative effects are a concern often cited by proponents of Section 14(c).<sup><a href="#aoi240070r15" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">15</a></sup> However, detrimental effects on subpopulations with IDD cannot be ruled out.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010714"></a> <p class="para">Third, the differential increases in labor market outcomes in New Hampshire compared with Maryland underscore the role of state-specific factors. One potential explanation is that New Hampshire provided significantly higher per-capita funding for integrated employment training specifically for people with IDD compared with Maryland in the years surrounding the repeal (eFigure 11 in <a class="supplement-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-supplemental" href="#note-AOI240070-1">Supplement 1</a>), given prior work showing that better integrated employment funding improved labor market outcomes for individuals with IDD.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r27" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">27</a></sup> However, there may be other potential drivers of differential program effects, including the types of industries employing workers with IDD, availability of other employment support and welfare programs, caregiving policies, and social norms. Our findings demonstrate the importance of identifying these factors for future research and policymaking.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010715"></a> <p class="para">Fourth, we note that New Hampshire did not have any Section 14(c) workers in 2015 at the time of repeal<sup><a href="#aoi240070r28" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">28</a></sup> but still saw an increase in both labor force participation and employment rate. This suggests that policy effects may operate through other mechanisms besides raising the minimum wage—though the effect of raising the minimum wage itself can invite new workers into the labor force.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r29" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">29</a></sup> For example, in addition to increased integrated employment funding increasing IDD agencies’ capacity to provide employment training, there is growing evidence that policies may have effects beyond their designed or material effects via signaling and affective pathways, especially for charged policy issues.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r30" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">30</a></sup> In this case, media coverage and debates around Section 14(c) repeal might encourage or signal to families and individuals with IDD previously out of the labor force to apply for employment training. Exploration of these factors is outside this study’s scope and should be pursued in future work. Another potential explanation for the differences in employment outcomes between New Hampshire and Maryland is that Maryland’s bill specified a gradual phase-out plan for subminimum wage jobs over 4 years rather than an immediate elimination of all jobs. As a result, Maryland still had 1513 Section 14(c) workers as of April 2019.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r28" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">28</a></sup> It is possible that because of this gradual phase-out, effects of the repeal, if any, would be more obvious after 2020. Finally, the lack of significant changes in the secondary outcomes likely reflect heterogeneity in either specific occupation types or other multilayered factors affecting wages that could arise from employment (eg, taxes, health insurance, transportation costs)—something that is outside the scope of this study.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010716"></a> <div class="h4 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text "> Limitations </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010717"></a> <p class="para">Our study has limitations, all of which motivate future work. First, given data constraints, we cannot estimate the individual-level effects of Section 14(c) repeals. Although our findings suggest no obvious adverse population-level economic effects on people with cognitive disabilities, individual Section 14(c) workers, especially those with severe IDD, may become unemployed following employers’ inability to pay subminimum wages. Individual-level data on people transitioning out of Section 14(c) jobs should be collected. Second, our data cannot allow us to definitively identify intellectual and psychiatric disabilities, the groups that constitute almost all Section 14(c) workers and are known to be undercounted in most surveys.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r31" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">31</a></sup><sup>,<a href="#aoi240070r32" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">32</a></sup> However, we could identify the population on which Section 14(c) is most likely to impact—an approach that has been previously used in policy evaluations where data availability has been an issue.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r21" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">21</a></sup> Additionally, as shown previously, it is possible that the ACS disability question, based on its binary responses, and potentially question phrasing likely selects for relatively higher levels of intellectual disability compared with the National Health Interview Survey, which uses a 4-point Likert scale.<sup><a href="#aoi240070r33" class="ref-link section-jump-link" data-tab-toggle=".tab-nav-references">33</a></sup> Third, we only are able to evaluate treatment effects in 2 states, and examining policy effects in other states repealing Section 14(c) will be important for future work. Fourth, although synthetic DID methodology requires only 2 pretreatment time periods to estimate the synthetic control, our dataset had a relatively short pretreatment panel of 5 years. Finally, while we examine a key set of social determinants of health, data constraints render us unable to measure policy impacts on health directly. We hope our research stimulates further work examining whether equity in minimum wages among people with disabilities translates to health equity.</p> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010718"></a> <div class="h3 cb section-type-section "> <div class="heading-text thm-col sb-sc"> Conclusions </div> </div> <a class="article-section-id-anchor" id="250010719"></a> <p class="para">Repeal of Section 14(c), an 85-year-old policy allowing subminimum wages for people with disabilities, had an overall increase in labor force participation, although with heterogeneity at the state level.
