1/ IMPACT: In December, @readfrontier and @StateImpactOK published an investigation that grew out of our Rehab Reporting Network. (revealnews.org/network)

Now, Oklahoma City officials are taking notice. readfrontier.org/stories/oklaho…

2/ @briOKC and @joewertz talked to former residents from Firstep, a work recovery program in Oklahoma City, who said the rehab kept or attempted to take a portion of their disability benefits from workers’ comp after they were hurt on the job. readfrontier.org/stories/workin…

3/ That may be illegal. And if the Labor Department finds that Firstep is breaking the law, local officials plan to take action.

4/ Firstep is one of dozens of rehabs across the US that require participants to work for free in exchange for treatment.

We kept getting new tips every time we released a story.

We couldn't report on every one, so we built a network. You can join: revealnews.org/network

5/ Also: If you have experience with a work-based rehab, we want to hear from you. reveal.forms.fm/what-s-your-ex…

6/ And to learn more about these rehabs, definitely check out all the reporting @shoeshine and @amyjharris have done: revealnews.org/topic/all-work…
