Brian Mittman, Esq., managing partner at Markhoff & Mittman, P.C., has provided crucial insights on the U.S. Census Bureau's proposed changes to disability counting methods and their potential impact on the disability community.
Drawing from decades of experience in disability law, Mittman emphasizes the significance of accurate data collection in ensuring proper support for individuals with disabilities. "In my years of practice, I've observed that many disability cases stem from inadequate data collection and reporting systems," Mittman states. He expressed particular concern about the Census Bureau's initial attempt to modify disability counting methods without adequate community consultation.
Mittman warns that the proposed changes could have far-reaching implications for benefit allocations and support services for millions of Americans. He points out that accurate disability statistics are fundamental to proper resource distribution and policy development.
The attorney's commentary comes as the Census Bureau faces significant pushback from the disability community regarding proposed modifications to the American Community Survey (ACS) disability questions. These changes, which could have resulted in a 40% reduction in disability population counts, have since been suspended pending further consultation with stakeholders.
As a leading voice in disability law, Mittman's insights highlight the critical connection between administrative data collection practices and their real-world impact on individuals with disabilities. His firm, Markhoff & Mittman, P.C., continues to advocate for the rights and proper representation of individuals with disabilities throughout New York.
