Myriam Joseph-Schilz is a senior at Barnard College conducting a research project about people who live in New York State and are (or were) "on disability." Myriam is looking to interview folks who can share their stories and experiences with disability benefits programs like SSDI, SSI, or worker's compensation. Participants will be asked to talk about the decisions they make through, after, and beyond the benefits application process. Individuals who have been denied disability benefits for any reason are also encouraged to participate. 

Interviews will last about 60-80 minutes, and depending on participants’ preference, conducted either in-person or on Zoom. Participants must live in New York State and have experience with applying to and/or receiving disability benefits. All names and identities will be kept confidential and will not be shared with anyone outside the project. To get in touch and learn more, you can contact Myriam Joseph-Schilz by email at msj2155@barnard.edu, by phone at (202) 910 - 8313, or via this Google form. Please ask any and all questions you have! Thank you.
