The CPS Disability Supplement will provide information on labor force participation rates for people with disabilities; the use of and satisfaction with programs that prepare people with disabilities for employment; the work history, barriers to employment, and workplace accommodations reported by persons with a disability; and the effect of financial assistance programs on the likelihood of working. Because the Disability Supplement is part of the CPS, the same detailed demographic information collected in the CPS will be available about respondents to the supplement.

This is a proposed revision of the Disability Supplement. Response burden is estimated to be lower than it was in the 2021 supplement. This is due to a change in the way burden hours are calculated. Since some respondents respond on behalf of both themselves and another member of their household, previous clearance packages mistakenly double-counted the time needed to collect data from those respondents. While the 2024 Disability Supplement questionnaire has been revised, it is expected to take the same average length of time per respondent (5 minutes) as the previous 2021 Disability Supplement questionnaire.
