Debate Continues Over the Future of Special Minimum Wage for Intellectually Disabled Workers

Credited from: THEHILL

  • The **Special Minimum Wage (SMW)** allows employers to pay certain intellectually disabled workers less than the federal minimum wage.
  • On **Dec. 3**, the **U.S. Department of Labor** signaled plans to phase out SMW, prompting concern among families and advocates.
  • Data shows a significant loss of **390,000 14(c) jobs** since 2001, with many workers relegated to day care programs instead of work.
  • A survey indicates that a large majority of families involved with SMW support its continuation for their loved ones.
  • Advocates argue that the elimination of SMW disregards the diverse needs of the **IDD community**, as many cannot succeed in standard jobs.
