TDAP Numbers Suggest Disparate Treatment

APPROVAL RATES VARY WILDLY BY JURISDICTION

A review of DHR’s own monthly statistics on TDAP (found at http://www.dhr.state.md.us/fia/statistics.php) show that imparied persons unable to work in Montgomery, Anne Arundel or Washington Counties will have a more difficult time getting assistance than elsewhere in the state.  While the statewide average approval rate for TDAP applications is 48%, Montgomery  approves only 21% of its applicants, while Anne Arundel and Washington Counties average approvals at a 26% rate.    The counties most likely to grant TDAP are Garrett (approval rate of 71%), Calvert (66%) and Caroline (64%).  Baltmore City approves 58% of its applicants on average.  TDAP Numbers & Trends FY 09-10
