|
|
<div class="authors">by Jae G. Song and Joyce Manchester</div>
|
|
<p>Using a 1 percent sample of Social Security Administration data, this article documents and analyzes responses in the entitlement age for old-age benefits following the recent changes in Social Security rules. Both rules, the removal of the retirement earnings test (<abbr class="spell">RET</abbr>) for persons who are at the full retirement age (<abbr class="spell">FRA</abbr>) through age 69 in 2000 or later and a gradual increase in the <abbr class="spell">FRA</abbr> for those who reach age 62 in 2000 or later, are expected to affect the age at which people claim Social Security retirement benefits (or entitlement age) and the work behavior of older Americans.</p>

|
|
<div class="authors">by Christopher R. Tamborini</div>
|
|
<p>This article focuses on a growing yet understudied subgroup of the elderly in the United States—the never-married. The first section, based on data from the Current Population Survey and a review of the academic literature, examines the current circumstances of never-married retirees, particularly their economic and health well-being. The succeeding section uses the Modeling Income in the Near Term (<abbr>MINT</abbr>) model to assess the projected (1) changes in the marital status composition of the future retirement-age population; (2) demographics of future never-married retirees, and (3) economic well-being of never-married retirees. The results highlight important links between marital trends, Social Security, and retirement outcomes and offer insight into some of the characteristics of current and future never-married retirees.</p>

|
|
<div class="authors">by T. Lynn Fisher</div>
|
|
<p>Other publications using the same data source as Income of the Population 55 or Older, 2004 have produced different statistics for income and the relative importance of Social Security that appear contradictory. Depending on the unit of observation and whose income is considered, the estimates of the percentage of the elderly receiving all of their income from Social Security in 2004 varies from 13 percent to 22 percent. This article explains how the choice of the unit of observation impacts measures of the relative importance of Social Security benefits for the elderly.</p>

|
|
<div class="authors">by T. Lynn Fisher</div>
|
|
<p>Through the 1990s and the early 2000s, the Income of the Population 55 or Older has reported a decline in the proportion of the elderly receiving asset income and the corresponding rise in the proportion receiving all of their income from Social Security. This analysis uses the Survey of Consumer Finances from 1992 to 2001 to examine financial asset holdings of the elderly and to determine if those who do not report asset income in fact might hold assets that are likely to generate income. Imputing asset income from likely income-producing holdings, the article examines the impact of probable missing asset income information upon measures of elderly income.</p>

|
|
<div class="authors">by T. Lynn Fisher</div>
|
|
<p>This article provides insight into how measures of elderly economic well-being are sensitive to the survey data source. In Social Security Administration's publication Income of the Population 55 or Older, data are based on the national Current Population Survey (<abbr class="spell">CPS</abbr>). The preciseness of the survey statistics depends upon the willingness and ability of <abbr class="spell">CPS</abbr> respondents to answer questions accurately. This article contrasts income statistics calculated using the CPS and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (<abbr>SIPP</abbr>). Administrative data for Social Security benefits and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> are also used to evaluate the accuracy of the income estimates.</p>

|
<div class="authors">by T. Lynn Fisher</div>
|
|
<p>Provided is a discussion of the cumulative effects of the measurement alternatives described in the three previous articles: considering family income of persons rather than aged units, using administrative data in place of survey reported data, and switching the data source from <abbr class="spell">CPS</abbr> to <abbr>SIPP</abbr>. The current-methodology <abbr class="spell">CPS</abbr> statistic of 17.9 percent of beneficiary aged units receiving all of their income from Social Security in 1996 falls to a substantially smaller estimated 4.5 percent of elderly beneficiary persons based on family income when using the <abbr>SIPP</abbr> and Social Security administrative data.</p>

|
|
<div class="authors">by Patricia P. Martin</div>
|
|
<p>This article uses a relatively new data source—the American Community Survey (<abbr class="spell">ACS</abbr>) to document the economic and demographic characteristics of the Hispanic population in the United States. Although the article focuses on Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (<abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr>) recipients, other segments of the population are also examined. The <abbr class="spell">ACS</abbr> data show that the Hispanic population is significantly different from the overall population, particularly with regard to age distribution, education, and economic well-being.</p>

|
|
<div class="authors">by Robert R. Weathers II, Gerard Walter, Sara Schley, John C. Hennessey, Jeffrey Hemmeter, and Richard V. Burkhauser</div>
|
|
<p>This article uses a unique longitudinal dataset based on administrative data from the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (<abbr class="spell">NTID</abbr>) linked to Social Security Administration (<abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr>) microdata to conduct a case study of Supplemental Security Income (<abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr>) children who applied for postsecondary education at <abbr class="spell">NTID</abbr>. The authors estimate the likelihood that <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> children who apply to <abbr class="spell">NTID</abbr> will eventually graduate relative to other hearing impaired applicants, as well as the influence of graduation from <abbr class="spell">NTID</abbr> on participation in the <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> program as adults and later success in the labor market. Findings indicate that <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> children are substantially less likely to graduate from <abbr class="spell">NTID</abbr> than their fellow deaf students who did not participate in the <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> program as children, but that those who do graduate spend less time in the <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> adult program and have higher age-earnings profiles than those who do not graduate.</p>
