“…The DONREP’s questions, developed from focus groups with case managers and input from an expert panel define financial capability in terms of ability to meet basic needs, vulnerability to victimization, addiction, and psychiatric impairment. Although the DONREP items have not been tested more formally, their scope is consistent with other working definitions of financial capability, including reasons identified by case managers for recommending a payee (Dixon et al, 1999; Luchins, et al, 1998; Luchins, et al, 2004), target outcomes of money management educational interventions (Elbogen et al, 2011, 2013; Rosen et al, 2003, 2010), statistical models differentiating beneficiaries with and without payees (Conrad, et al, 1998), legislative history of assigning representative payees to individuals because of disabling substance use (Swartz et al, 2000) and expert recommendations for defining capability that emphasized substance use, impairment, and the ability to meet basic needs (Rosen & Rosenheck, 1999). …”
