Background SSA is requesting clearance to collect data necessary to evaluate an intervention under the Interventional Cooperative Agreement Program (ICAP) with the State of Georgia’s Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC). ICAP allows SSA to partner with various non-federal groups and organizations to advance interventional research connected to the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) programs. SSA awarded CJCC a cooperative agreement to conduct an intervention and evaluation of Supplemental Security Income (SSI)/ Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) model in county jails with inmates with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) across the state. In addition to SSA, CJCC has partnered with the following: (1) Applied Research Services (ARS); (2) the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD); and (3) four county jails to implement the program. ICAP CJCC Project Description Investigators hypothesize that untreated mental illness and repeated psychiatric crises may be a factor in jail recidivism. Connection to SSI/SSDI and attendant insurance benefits may help a person with SPMI obtain treatment and interrupt criminogenic behavior. The intervention will connect respondents in four county jails identified as having Number of respondents Modality of completion ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 State of Georgia’s Criminal Justice Coordinating Council’s (CJCC) Evaluation of the Implementation of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI)/ Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) Model in County Jails—0960– NEW Average burden per response (minutes) Frequency of response 41995 SPMI to Medicaid Eligibility Specialists (MES) hired and trained by the Georgia DBHDD, who will help them apply for SSI and SSDI. Respondents in two of the four counties (Fulton County Jail and Cobb County Jail) will also have the option of working with a Forensic Peer Mentor (FPM), a formerly incarcerated individual who is familiar with resources that may help participants increase their quality-of-life post incarceration and avoid recidivism. SSA anticipates the two DBHDD MESs will each serve 45 participants per year, for a total of 90 participants per year. To maximize the likelihood of the SSI/SSDI application approval, the MES will employ the SOAR method, which uses in-depth medical and personal summaries of disability to facilitate the SSI/SSDI application process. Researchers will collect data from participant surveys to evaluate and study the impact of the intervention. Through the data collected through these surveys, along with administrative data from SSA, the State of Georgia, participating counties, and DBHDD, SSA hopes to address the following research questions: • Does connection to a SOAR-trained specialist increase the likelihood that a person with SPMI in jail will be approved for SSI/SSDI benefits? • If a person with SPMI receives SSI/ SSDI benefits, are they able to connect to treatment resources that they may not have been able to obtain before? • If a person with SPMI connects to treatment resources and successfully engages with them, are they able to achieve mental health recovery and stay out of jail?

State of Georgia's Criminal Justice Coordinating Council's (CJCC) 
Evaluation of the Implementation of the Supplemental Security Income 
(SSI)/Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) Outreach, Access, and 
Recovery (SOAR) Model in County Jails--0960-NEW

Background

    SSA is requesting clearance to collect data necessary to evaluate 
an intervention under the Interventional Cooperative Agreement Program 
(ICAP) with the State of Georgia's Criminal Justice Coordinating 
Council (CJCC). ICAP allows SSA to partner with various non-federal 
groups and organizations to advance interventional research connected 
to the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security 
Disability Insurance (SSDI) programs. SSA awarded CJCC a cooperative 
agreement to conduct an intervention and evaluation of Supplemental 
Security Income (SSI)/Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) 
Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) model in county jails with 
inmates with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) across the 
state. In addition to SSA, CJCC has partnered with the following: (1) 
Applied Research Services (ARS); (2) the Georgia Department of 
Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD); and (3) four 
county jails to implement the program.

ICAP CJCC Project Description

    Investigators hypothesize that untreated mental illness and 
repeated psychiatric crises may be a factor in jail recidivism. 
Connection to SSI/SSDI and attendant insurance benefits may help a 
person with SPMI obtain treatment and interrupt criminogenic behavior. 
The intervention will connect respondents in four county jails 
identified as having SPMI to Medicaid Eligibility Specialists (MES) 
hired and trained by the Georgia DBHDD, who will help them apply for 
SSI and SSDI. Respondents in two of the four counties (Fulton County 
Jail and Cobb County Jail) will also have the option of working with a 
Forensic Peer Mentor (FPM), a formerly incarcerated individual who is 
familiar with resources that may help participants increase their 
quality-of-life post incarceration and avoid recidivism. SSA 
anticipates the two DBHDD MESs will each serve 45 participants per 
year, for a total of 90 participants per year.
    To maximize the likelihood of the SSI/SSDI application approval, 
the MES will employ the SOAR method, which uses in-depth medical and 
personal summaries of disability to facilitate the SSI/SSDI application 
process. Researchers will collect data from participant surveys to 
evaluate and study the impact of the intervention. Through the data 
collected through these surveys, along with administrative data from 
SSA, the State of Georgia, participating counties, and DBHDD, SSA hopes 
to address the following research questions:
     Does connection to a SOAR-trained specialist increase the 
likelihood that a person with SPMI in jail will be approved for SSI/
SSDI benefits?
     If a person with SPMI receives SSI/SSDI benefits, are they 
able to connect to treatment resources that they may not have been able 
to obtain before?
     If a person with SPMI connects to treatment resources and 
successfully engages with them, are they able to achieve mental health 
recovery and stay out of jail?
    The respondents are individuals with serious and persistent mental 
illness incarcerated in county jails in the state of Georgia.
