I'm not sure about the Goodwill program specifically, but some companies with disability work programs accept extremely disabled individuals who are literally more work to have there than they could possibly accomplish. It is meant as an outreach service, because having a "job" at all is therapeutic for them. Further, there is a hard cap on income before one loses certain disability benefits, so some disabled people will also be financially better off from being paid less. I don't see any info in this article about the extent of disability Goodwill was working with, but more often than not these programs are not meant to exploit and really don't provide any material benefit to the company. There is certainly debate about whether the law allowing this is a net positive, but it's usually much more nuanced than a company just trying to get cheap labor out of a disadvantaged person.
