Area of Science:

  • Social policy research
  • Poverty studies
  • Disability policy

Background:

  • Interactions between social assistance programs impact client well-being and program efficiency.
  • Many families receiving TANF report disabilities, leading to discussions on TANF-SSI connections.
  • Financial incentives favor transferring disabled individuals from TANF to SSI for both states and families.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the financial consequences of TANF-to-SSI transfers.
  • Estimate the prevalence of SSI receipt among TANF families.
  • Analyze the proportion of new SSI awards going to TANF/SSP recipients.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Urban Institute's Welfare Rules Database for financial impact analysis.
  • Employed the TANF/SSP Recipient Family Characteristics Survey for prevalence estimates.

  • Analyzed TANF-to-SSI flows, considering Separate State Programs (SSPs).

    • Main Results:

    • An SSI award increased TANF family income by over 100% for child or adult recipients by 2003.
    • 16% of TANF/SSP families included an SSI recipient in FY2003, a slight increase since FY2000.
    • Monthly incidence of SSI awards to TANF/SSP recipients increased from 1991-1993 to 2001-2003.

    Conclusions:

    • A significant proportion of SSI awards go to disabled nonelderly individuals receiving TANF/SSP.
    • Coordination between SSA and TANF authorities can improve SSI eligibility assessment and service delivery.
    • Recent policy changes may increase SSI applications from adult TANF recipients due to work participation mandates.
