<p itemprop="description">The Social Security Administration (<abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr>) produces several statistical publications based on the data used to administer the Disability Insurance (<abbr class="spell">DI</abbr>) and Supplemental Security Income (<abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr>) programs. Although these data are extensive, they do not capture many of the economic and demographic characteristics of program participants. To better understand those beneficiary populations, <abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> matches information from its administrative records with data collected by the Census Bureau in the Survey of Income and Program Participation (<abbr>SIPP</abbr>). <a href="/policy/docs/rsnotes/rsn2008-02.html">DeCesaro and Hemmeter (2008)</a> contains tables describing the characteristics of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> program participants based on 2002 data. This note updates those tables with data for 2010.</p>
<h2>Data</h2>
<p>The <abbr>SIPP</abbr> is a household survey of the noninstitutionalized resident population of the United States. The survey broadly measures the economic situations of households, paying particular attention to the role of government transfer and service programs. Within a given <abbr>SIPP</abbr> wave, each participating household is tracked for several years and is interviewed every 4&nbsp;months.<sup><a href="#mn1" id="mt1">1</a></sup> In addition to the core questions about income and program participation, each interview includes questions from a rotating module on a topic such as marital history or education.</p>
<p>Although the previous iteration of this analysis included a special sample of known <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients, such a sample was not interviewed in the 2008 <abbr>SIPP</abbr>, which provided the data for this note. Thus, the estimates presented here are based on smaller samples of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients included in the public-use <abbr>SIPP</abbr> data file. Additionally, the definitions of some of the characteristics differ from those used in the previous work. Those changes were necessary to avoid disclosing information about individual sample members.</p>
<p>To improve the quality of the data, <abbr>SIPP</abbr> results are matched to Social Security administrative records based on the respondent's validated Social Security number. For individuals with valid numbers, we use the administrative records to determine whether they received <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits or <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments and, if so, the amounts received. For individuals who did not provide a valid Social Security number, we use self-reported values from the <abbr>SIPP</abbr>. We identify individuals as <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients if they received a payment in December&nbsp;2010.<sup><a href="#mn2" id="mt2">2</a></sup> Consistent with the prior edition of this study, we define <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> receipt only in terms of federal payments; that is, we do not include state <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> supplements (even those that are federally administered) in our definition. In tabulations of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients' Medicaid coverage, we recode the <abbr>SIPP</abbr> Medicaid variable to reflect the automatic Medicaid coverage of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients in certain states under Section&nbsp;1634 of the Social Security Act.</p>
<p>We weight the <abbr>SIPP</abbr> results using December&nbsp;2010 Social Security administrative data adjusted for institutional status.<sup><a href="#mn3" id="mt3">3</a></sup> We use data for September, October, November, and December&nbsp;2010 to measure income and poverty. Those months span waves&nbsp;7 and 8 of the 2008 <abbr>SIPP</abbr>. All demographic characteristics other than income and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> and <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefit amounts are based on <abbr>SIPP</abbr> data for December&nbsp;2010.</p>
<h2>Discussion of the Estimates</h2>
<p>This section highlights selected estimates from the tables and charts.</p>
<h3><abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> Beneficiaries</h3>
<p><abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries in this sample comprise disabled workers, disabled <span class="nobr">widow(er)s,</span> and disabled adult children. Because 89&nbsp;percent of the beneficiaries in this sample were disabled workers, the tables present information separately for that subgroup, although we do not discuss those results in the text. For convenience and consistency with other publications, we refer to all these groups as <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries regardless of whether their benefits are paid from the Disability Insurance or the <span class="nobr">Old-Age</span> and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and as long as their eligibility is based on disability.<sup><a href="#mn4" id="mt4">4</a></sup></p>
<p>Although <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries are eligible for Medicare, coverage does not begin until 24&nbsp;months after the first month of benefit receipt. In December&nbsp;2010, 64&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries reported Medicare coverage (alone or in combination with other coverage), 43&nbsp;percent reported Medicaid coverage, and 33&nbsp;percent had private health insurance (Chart&nbsp;1). Nearly <span class="nobr">one-quarter</span> of beneficiaries held joint Medicare and Medicaid coverage and a similar proportion had only Medicare coverage (Table&nbsp;1). About 8&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries in the sample reported having no health insurance.</p>

<p>As Table&nbsp;4 shows, the two largest sources of family income for <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries were their Social Security benefits (58&nbsp;percent) and earnings (23&nbsp;percent). Among the marital-status groups, the contribution of earnings toward family income was highest for married <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries; those who were divorced or separated relied more heavily on their <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits. For beneficiaries with fewer than 12&nbsp;years of education, benefits accounted for 63&nbsp;percent and earnings accounted for 18&nbsp;percent of family income. For those with at least 16&nbsp;years of education, benefits accounted for 52&nbsp;percent and earnings accounted for 26&nbsp;percent of family income.</p>

<p>As part of the social safety net, <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits help keep some individuals out of poverty. If <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits were removed from their income, <span class="nobr">one-half</span> of disabled beneficiaries would have been in poverty in 2010 based on their family income level (Table&nbsp;6). With <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits included in family income, only 20&nbsp;percent of beneficiaries had income below the poverty threshold. Beneficiaries' economic behavior would likely change if they did not receive disability benefits; thus, hypothetical estimates that simply exclude <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits do not fully capture the economic situation beneficiaries would experience in the absence of the program.&nbsp;Rather, these estimates represent how the program contributes to the reduction in poverty under existing patterns of behavior.&nbsp;Receiving <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits reduced the aggregate poverty gap, or the aggregate difference between family income and the poverty threshold for those below the threshold, by 87&nbsp;percent (Table&nbsp;7).</p>

<h3><abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> Recipients</h3>
<p><abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients in this sample include aged, blind, and disabled individuals. Our <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> tables show results for three subgroups: children (younger than age&nbsp;18), working-age adults <span class="nobr">(18&ndash;64),</span> and the aged (65 or older).<sup><a href="#mn5" id="mt5">5</a></sup> The maximum monthly <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payment amount, called the federal benefit rate, can be reduced for individuals with countable earnings and unearned income. In 2010, the federal benefit rate was $674 for an individual and $1,011 for a couple in which both members were eligible.</p>
<p>Working-age <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients were more likely to have higher levels of education than aged recipients in December&nbsp;2010. Among working-age recipients, 68&nbsp;percent had at least 12&nbsp;years of education, compared with 47&nbsp;percent of aged recipients (Chart&nbsp;3). About 37&nbsp;percent of aged recipients had fewer than 9&nbsp;years of education, compared with 12&nbsp;percent of working-age recipients (Table&nbsp;8). We note that a substantial proportion of aged <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients reported Social Security benefits in the <abbr>SIPP</abbr> (72&nbsp;percent); however, according to <abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> records, only 56&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients aged&nbsp;65 or older had Social Security benefits (<abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> 2012, Table&nbsp;7.D2).</p>

<p>Unlike Medicare coverage under <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr>, which begins only after 24&nbsp;months in the program, Medicaid coverage begins immediately for <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients in most states. In December&nbsp;2010, 95&nbsp;percent of all <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients had Medicaid coverage and 40&nbsp;percent had Medicare coverage. A majority (64&nbsp;percent) of working-age <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients was covered by Medicaid only, while 23&nbsp;percent reported having joint Medicare and Medicaid coverage but no private insurance. The percentage of aged <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients with Medicare coverage is undoubtedly high, although perhaps not quite the 97&nbsp;percent reported in the <abbr>SIPP</abbr>.<sup><a href="#mn6" id="mt6">6</a></sup>&nbsp;Private health insurance covered almost 9&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients. All aged <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients had at least one type of health insurance; however, 4&nbsp;percent of children and 3&nbsp;percent of working-age recipients had no coverage.</p>
<p>Table&nbsp;8 also shows that 54&nbsp;percent of recipients reported receiving public assistance other than <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> (such as General Assistance), and 6&nbsp;percent reported earnings. Nearly 39&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients reported receiving Social Security benefits and 9&nbsp;percent reported other sources of income.</p>
<p>A majority of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> adult recipients did not own their own home, and most received <abbr>SNAP</abbr> food assistance (Table&nbsp;9). <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients were typically unique in their households with regard to type of recipient. For example, 78&nbsp;percent of child recipients resided in households where they were the sole <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> child recipient. Similarly, for working-age <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients, 76&nbsp;percent resided in households where there was only one working-age recipient.</p>

<p>Family income for <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients primarily comprised <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments, Social Security benefits, and earnings (Table&nbsp;11). <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments accounted for 44&nbsp;percent of family income, earnings accounted for 23&nbsp;percent, and Social Security benefits accounted for 22&nbsp;percent. The share of family income contributed by earnings was higher for families with child <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients than for those with working-age recipients (38&nbsp;percent versus 20&nbsp;percent). The majority of family income for <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients aged&nbsp;65 or older was provided by the combination of Social Security benefits (37&nbsp;percent) and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments (36&nbsp;percent).</p>

<p><abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments helped some families move above the poverty line, but most families remained within 150&nbsp;percent of the poverty threshold. Without counting <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments in family income, the poverty rate would be 65&nbsp;percent, compared with the actual rate (43&nbsp;percent) when <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments are included (Table&nbsp;13). The percentage of child <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients with family income below the poverty line falls from 58&nbsp;percent to 32&nbsp;percent when <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> is counted. Thus, of children whose family income without <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> would be below the poverty line, about 46&nbsp;percent are not in poverty when <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments are included in family income. The impact of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments on family income of aged recipients is somewhat smaller, helping 28&nbsp;percent move above the poverty threshold. <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments reduced the aggregate poverty gap by 71&nbsp;percent (Table&nbsp;14). The reduction was slightly larger for aged <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients and slightly smaller for child recipients. As with the estimated impacts of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits on poverty, these estimates do not capture any changes in the economic behavior of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients that could result from the presence or absence of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments.</p>

<h2>Notes</h2>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt1" id="mn1">1</a> Beginning in 2014, the Census Bureau will conduct <abbr>SIPP</abbr> interviews yearly rather than every 4&nbsp;months. <abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> is funding a supplemental interview that the Census Bureau will field about halfway through the first year of the redesigned survey.</p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt2" id="mn2">2</a> As in the prior edition of this study, <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payment amounts are identified as actual payments received (rather than payments due), and <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits are identified as the monthly amount due before Medicare premium deductions.</p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt3" id="mn3">3</a> We use a range of <span class="nobr">1.1&ndash;24.2</span>&nbsp;percent in our estimates of the percentages of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients residing in an institution, depending on <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> program participation. These are based on internal estimates and are the same percentages used in the prior edition of this study. Although the weights used for this analysis may be antiquated, they are the best currently available.</p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt4" id="mn4">4</a> Nondisabled dependents of disabled workers may also receive auxiliary <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits, but we exclude those individuals from this analysis. Therefore, the tables (and the accompanying discussion) cover only individuals who are entitled to <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits based on their own disability. In December&nbsp;2010, nondisabled dependents accounted for less than 17&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries (<abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> 2011, Table&nbsp;1).</p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt5" id="mn5">5</a> <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients who are both disabled and aged&nbsp;65 or older are counted in the aged category.</p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt6" id="mn6">6</a> Many respondents who reported Medicare coverage likely fell within the 72&nbsp;percent of aged <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients in our sample who had any Social Security income, many of whom would thus be eligible for Medicare. A few others may have received Medicare coverage through Railroad Retirement or other programs. However, we suspect that the self-reported 97&nbsp;percent Medicare coverage rate is partially due to confusion between Medicare and Medicaid among <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients.</p>
