Overview: Gina Livermore, Jody Schimmel and David Stapleton will present findings from three new studies on working-age beneficiaries receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (DI). These studies followed beneficiaries over several years to assess their employment, use of SSI and DI work incentives, and exit from the disability rolls for work. In most previous studies of beneficiary work behavior, researchers have examined beneficiaries over short periods—a month or a year. By following beneficiaries over much longer periods, the more recent studies provide new information and perspectives on the efforts of beneficiaries to return to work. Paul O’Leary will discuss the implications of the findings for disability policy.
