| 摘要 |
- DI applicants are older and less educated, have significantly less income and lower employment rates, and receive poverty-related benefits at higher rates than the general population, especially in the six months before applying for DI.
- There are similar trends among applicants and non-applicants within our seven at-risk groups.
From 1992 to 2012, enrollment in the Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) program
increased from 4.7 million people to 8.7 million people, but the number of beneficiaries leaving
the program to return to work remained very small. The U.S. government has implemented
several programs to reduce federal expenditures on DI and help beneficiaries return to work, but
the limited success of these efforts has raised interest in approaches that help workers with
disabilities remain in the workforce. The focus of this paper is to provide information on the
services and supports used by workers with disabilities at risk of applying for DI and to help
build the evidence base for policies that enable workers with disabilities to avoid applying for DI
and for the supports necessary to keep them in the workforce. Using three panels of the Survey
of Income and Program Participation matched to SSA administrative data, we answer questions
about the demographic, employment, and program participation characteristics of DI;
beneficiaries before and after they apply for DI, and of individuals at risk of applying for DI.
We
find that DI applicants are older and less educated, have significantly less income and lower
employment rates, and receive poverty-related benefits at higher rates than the general
population, especially in the six months before applying for DI. We observe similar trends
among applicants and non-applicants within our seven at-risk groups. Based on this analysis, we
identify particular at-risk groups that might benefit from receiving early intervention services.
