Firms could have to pay higher or lower taxes depending on how many workers needed disability insurance

As in the Netherlands and similar to how states' workers compensation benefits are funded, the U.S. could impose some form of experience rating on firms and raise the SSDI payroll tax of firms whose workers enroll in the system at above average rates and lowering the SSDI payroll taxes on firms whose workers enroll at below average rates. Employers could then be more incentivized to make the investments in accommodation and rehabilitation that could prolong the employment tenure of a worker with a disability.
