Area of Science:

  • Social Gerontology
  • Public Policy
  • Labor Economics

Background:

  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is often perceived as a program for individuals without substantial work histories.
  • However, a significant portion of disabled SSI recipients have prior work experience and some continue to work while receiving benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the work histories of disabled SSI recipients.
  • To identify characteristics of recipients most likely to have worked.
  • To explore the implications of these work histories for policy aimed at encouraging work among SSI recipients.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 1-percent sample file linked with SSI administrative records.
  • Incorporated data from other agency files containing employment histories and industry codes.
  • Analyzed the amount, types, and patterns of work performed by disabled SSI recipients.

Main Results:

  • Nearly 80% of disabled SSI recipients worked before applying for benefits.
  • Approximately 20% of disabled SSI recipients engage in work after starting to receive payments.
  • Identified specific recipient characteristics associated with higher likelihoods of work history.

Conclusions:

  • The substantial work histories of disabled SSI recipients challenge common assumptions.
  • Understanding these work patterns is crucial for designing effective Social Security Administration programs to support employment.
  • Policies encouraging work should consider the existing employment backgrounds of SSI beneficiaries.
