About the Report
The report presents the design of the Unemployment Insurance (UI) Navigators Implementation Study, which is one of the components of the Navigator Study Portfolio Project being conducted by Mathematica and its partners Social Policy Research Associates and Needels Consulting, LLC. The team begins by describing evidence about the potential for Navigators to help address barriers to accessing workforce program benefits and services, including those for the UI system; a description of the planned populations of interest for and main activities of grant recipients; a conceptual framework for the UI Navigator grants; and an overview of the UI Navigators Implementation Study, focusing on its research questions (Section I). Next, the team describes the study’s data collection plans (Section II) and analysis plans (Section III). The team also explains their approach to assessing the feasibility of conducting an impact study of the UI Navigator grants (Section IV), and close by describing reporting plans (Section V).
