<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>) and presents the results in notes such as this. <a href="/policy/docs/rsnotes/rsn2008-02.html">DeCesaro and Hemmeter (2008)</a> contains tables describing the characteristics of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> and <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> participants based on 2002 data, <a href="/policy/docs/rsnotes/rsn2014-02.html">Bailey and Hemmeter (2014)</a> updates those tables with 2010 data, and this note updates the tables with 2013&nbsp;data.</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 with interviews conducted at regular intervals. 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>The estimates in this note are based on samples of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients from the public-use data file for the 2008 <abbr>SIPP</abbr> panel, the same file used in the 2014 note to produce the 2010 estimates. For ease of comparison, the chart and table numbers in this update correspond with those used in the previous edition.<sup><a href="#mn1" id="mt1">1</a></sup> However, the definitions of some of the characteristics differ from those used in the earlier tables. Those changes were necessary to avoid disclosing information about individual sample members.</p>
<p><abbr>SIPP</abbr> data 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 sample members without available matching administrative records, 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 the final month of the <span class="nobr">4-month</span> <abbr>SIPP</abbr> reference period.<sup><a href="#mn2" id="mt2">2</a></sup> Consistent with the 2014 edition of this note, we define <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> receipt only in terms of federally administered payments; that is, we do not include <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> state supplements 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>Our analysis is based on follow-up interviews of members of a sample initially chosen to be representative of the 2008 noninstitutionalized population. We use data collected from four rotation groups in wave&nbsp;15 of the 2008 <abbr>SIPP</abbr> panel, covering January through July&nbsp;2013. The first rotation group was interviewed in May and provided information for January through April. The second, third, and fourth groups were respectively interviewed in June, July, and August, and likewise provided information for the preceding 4&nbsp;months.</p>
<p>We use the data for those <span class="nobr">4-month</span> reference periods to measure income, poverty, and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> and <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefit amounts. All other demographic characteristics are based on <abbr>SIPP</abbr> data for the fourth month of the reference period (that is, April, May, June, or July, depending on the rotation group).</p>
<p>The current sample includes 2,589&nbsp;<abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries and 2,162&nbsp;<abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients&mdash;a slight reduction from the sample size for our previous update (2,644&nbsp;<abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries and 2,207&nbsp;<abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients from waves&nbsp;7 and 8 of the 2008 <abbr>SIPP</abbr>, covering September&ndash;December&nbsp;2010). About <span class="nobr">three-quarters</span> of our wave&nbsp;15 sample members were included in the sample for that update. We did not fully assess the causes of this attrition, but some of it is presumably due to individuals aging out of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> eligibility and becoming retired-worker beneficiaries instead. Additionally, some individuals will have died over the course of the survey panel. Other individuals will have newly entered the study population after experiencing recent health or financial shocks. We cannot determine whether or to what extent these changes in our sample affect its representativeness of the full population of noninstitutionalized program participants.</p>
<p>We weight the <abbr>SIPP</abbr> results using Social Security administrative data on the total number of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> participants.<sup><a href="#mn3" id="mt3">3</a></sup> Because <abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> data include institutionalized beneficiaries and <abbr>SIPP</abbr> results include only the noninstitutionalized population, we adjust the <abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> program totals by the estimated percentages of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries and <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> participants residing in institutions.<sup><a href="#mn4" id="mt4">4</a></sup></p>
<h2>Discussion of the Estimates</h2>
<p>This section highlights selected estimates from the tables and charts and notes key changes from the 2010 estimates. Tables&nbsp;<span class="nobr">1&ndash;7</span> present the estimates for <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries; Tables&nbsp;<span class="nobr">8&ndash;14</span> present the estimates for <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients. Changes to the presentation since the last update, both affecting <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries, consist of the addition of two personal-income categories in Table&nbsp;1 and a new table showing a measure of income adequacy if disabled-worker benefits were to be reduced by 19&nbsp;percent (Table&nbsp;6B). A 19&nbsp;percent reduction corresponds with the expected <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> Trust Fund shortfall should no legislative change occur by late 2016.<sup><a href="#mn5" id="mt5">5</a></sup></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 91&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 below. For convenience and consistency with other publications, we refer to all these groups as <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries regardless of whether their benefit is paid from the Disability Insurance or the <span class="nobr">Old-Age</span> and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund, as long as their eligibility is based on disability.<sup><a href="#mn6" id="mt6">6</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 2013, 64&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries reported Medicare coverage (alone or in combination with other coverage), 45&nbsp;percent reported Medicaid coverage, 31&nbsp;percent reported private health insurance, and 7&nbsp;percent reported having no health insurance (Chart&nbsp;1). About 27&nbsp;percent of beneficiaries held joint Medicare and Medicaid coverage and 20&nbsp;percent had only Medicare coverage (Table&nbsp;1). Many of those who reported Medicaid coverage were likely to be among the 21&nbsp;percent of disabled beneficiaries who also received <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments. Other forms of income included earnings (received by 11&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries), property income from all assets (received by 26&nbsp;percent), and other public assistance (received by 32&nbsp;percent). The percentage of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries receiving property income and income from unspecified other sources declined from 2010 levels by 4 and 6&nbsp;percentage points, respectively.</p>

<p>Although 29&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries had family income at or above 300&nbsp;percent of the poverty threshold, nearly 20&nbsp;percent were in poverty (Table&nbsp;5). <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries were more likely to have family income below the poverty threshold if they were women, younger than 40, black, divorced or separated, or never married. The proportions of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries with family income above 300&nbsp;percent of the poverty threshold differed widely by educational attainment. Only 11&nbsp;percent of those with fewer than 12&nbsp;years of education had family income above 300&nbsp;percent of the threshold, compared with 43&nbsp;percent of those with 16&nbsp;years or more of education (Chart&nbsp;2).</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, half of disabled beneficiaries would have been in poverty in 2013 based on their family income level (Table&nbsp;6A). With benefits included in family income, only 19&nbsp;percent of disabled workers had income below the poverty threshold. If the <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> Trust Fund were depleted and disabled-worker benefits were reduced by 19&nbsp;percent, the poverty rate for disabled workers would rise from 19&nbsp;percent to 26&nbsp;percent (Table&nbsp;6B).<sup><a href="#mn7" id="mt7">7</a></sup> 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 85&nbsp;percent (Table&nbsp;7). Beneficiaries' economic behavior would likely change if they did not receive disability benefits or received reduced benefits; thus, hypothetical estimates that simply exclude or reduce <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits do not fully capture the economic situation beneficiaries and their families would experience in the absence of the program or in the face of reduced benefits. Rather, these estimates represent how the program contributes to the reduction in poverty under existing patterns of behavior.</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. The 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="#mn8" id="mt8">8</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 2013, the federal benefit rate was $710 for an individual and $1,066 for a couple in which both members were eligible.</p>
<p>Chart&nbsp;3 summarizes educational attainment patterns. For both working-age and aged recipients, greater shares had at least 12&nbsp;years of education in 2013 (72&nbsp;percent and 60&nbsp;percent, respectively) than did in 2010 (68&nbsp;percent and 47&nbsp;percent). Although education levels are lower for aged recipients than for working-age recipients, the gap has narrowed substantially, from 21 to 12&nbsp;percentage points, since 2010. In 2013, about 29&nbsp;percent of aged recipients had less than 9&nbsp;years of education, compared with 10&nbsp;percent of working-age recipients (Table&nbsp;8). In 2010, the corresponding estimates were 37 and 12&nbsp;percent.</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 2013, 96&nbsp;percent of all <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients reported Medicaid coverage and 39&nbsp;percent reported Medicare coverage. The percentage of aged <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients with Medicare coverage is undoubtedly high, although perhaps not quite the 99&nbsp;percent reported in the <abbr>SIPP</abbr>.<sup><a href="#mn9" id="mt9">9</a></sup> We note that a substantial proportion of aged <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients reported Social Security benefits in the <abbr>SIPP</abbr> (76&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> 2015, Table&nbsp;7.D2). Private health insurance covered about 9&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients. Table&nbsp;8 also shows that 50&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. About 39&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients reported receiving Social Security benefits and 6&nbsp;percent reported other sources of income.</p>
<p>The majority of adult <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients <span class="nobr">(52&ndash;53</span>&nbsp;percent, depending on the age group) had <span class="nobr">4-month</span> total personal income below $3,000 and most of those individuals had income between $2,500 and $2,999. We note that <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments for a recipient who qualified for the federal benefit rate of $710 in 2013 would amount to $2,840 over a <span class="nobr">4-month</span> period, which would fall within that range.</p>
<p>Majorities of <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> adult recipients were nonhomeowners and received <abbr>SNAP</abbr> food assistance (Table&nbsp;9). Homeownership rates declined almost 20&nbsp;percent from the 2010 levels for aged recipients (from 40&nbsp;percent to 32&nbsp;percent) and families with a child <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipient (from 30&nbsp;percent to 25&nbsp;percent). About <span class="nobr">three-quarters</span> of working-age recipients resided in households where they were the sole <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> adult recipient. Similarly, for aged recipients, 67&nbsp;percent resided in households where there was only one adult recipient.</p>

<p>Although family income (shown in Table&nbsp;9) was generally higher than personal income (shown in Table&nbsp;8) for <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients, total <span class="nobr">4-month</span> family income was still less than $7,500 ($1,875 a month) for <span class="nobr">57&ndash;60</span>&nbsp;percent of adult <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients. Family income for families with a child <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipient was higher, with only about 30&nbsp;percent falling below $7,500 across 4&nbsp;months. Although the percentage of aged recipients relying on <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> for 100&nbsp;percent of personal income (17&nbsp;percent, Table&nbsp;10) fell slightly from its 2010 level (19&nbsp;percent), that share among working-age recipients rose by more than 9&nbsp;percentage points, from nearly 34&nbsp;percent in 2010 to 43&nbsp;percent in 2013. 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 43&nbsp;percent of family income, followed by earnings, which accounted for 25&nbsp;percent, and Social Security benefits, which accounted for another 23&nbsp;percent. The share of family income contributed by earnings was higher for families with child <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients than for working-age recipients (35&nbsp;percent versus 21&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 (32&nbsp;percent), although earnings also accounted for 26&nbsp;percent.</p>

The percentage of child <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients with family income below the poverty line falls from 58&nbsp;percent to 34&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 41&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 the family income of working-age recipients is somewhat smaller, helping 36&nbsp;percent move above the poverty threshold. <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payments reduced the aggregate poverty gap by about 68&nbsp;percent (Table&nbsp;14).</p>

<p>In closing, we note that the Census Bureau substantially changed the <abbr>SIPP</abbr> beginning in 2014. <abbr>SIPP</abbr> interviews are now conducted yearly rather than every 4&nbsp;months, and include somewhat different questions. The <abbr>SIPP</abbr> was redesigned to improve accuracy, reduce the burden to respondents and survey administration costs, and ensure that the data collected are relevant and timely (Census Bureau 2015). In 2014, <abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> funded a supplemental interview fielded by the Census Bureau about 6&nbsp;months after the first interview of the redesigned <abbr>SIPP</abbr>. Although <abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> will explore the possibility of updating these tables using the redesigned <abbr>SIPP</abbr>, comparable estimates may not be forthcoming.</p>
<div id="notes">
<h2>Notes</h2>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt1" id="mn1">1</a> There is one exception: The previous edition's Table&nbsp;6 is numbered <a href="#table6A">6A</a> in this update, and a new <a href="#table6B">Table&nbsp;6B</a> presents the estimated poverty-rate effects of a 19&nbsp;percent reduction in disabled-worker benefits to simulate the impact of the <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> Trust Fund depletion, which the Social Security Board of Trustees projects for 2016 in the absence of prior Congressional action. </p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt2" id="mn2">2</a> As in the previous editions of this note, we identify <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> payment amounts as actual payments received (as opposed to payments due) and <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits as the monthly amount due before Medicare premium deductions.</p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt3" id="mn3">3</a> We use the average of two years' administrative totals to adjust for the reference months used in the analysis (January through July&nbsp;2013). In previous updates, we used only 1&nbsp;year of administrative data because the reference months (September through December) aligned with <abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr>'s December administrative totals.</p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt4" id="mn4">4</a> We estimate that the institutionalized share of program participants ranges from <span class="nobr">1.1&ndash;24.2</span>&nbsp;percent, depending on the program and the participant's age. These figures are based on internal estimates and are the same percentages used in prior editions of this note. Although they are dated, these estimates remain the best currently available. </p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt5" id="mn5">5</a> For more information, see http://www.ssab.gov/FactsAndFigures/DidYouKnowCharts/DisabilityTrustFundSolvency.aspx. </p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt6" id="mn6">6</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, these tables (and the accompanying discussion) cover only individuals who are entitled to <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> benefits based on their own disability. In 2013, nondisabled dependents accounted for less than 16&nbsp;percent of <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> beneficiaries (<abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> 2014, Table&nbsp;1).</p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt7" id="mn7">7</a> This change would be greater if we also removed auxiliary benefits paid from the <abbr class="spell">DI</abbr> Trust Fund to children of disabled workers. In 2013, 12.6&nbsp;percent of disabled-worker beneficiaries had a dependent child younger than 18, and the average monthly <i>family</i> benefit was roughly $540 higher than the worker's primary insurance amount. (<abbr class="spell">SSA</abbr> 2014, Tables&nbsp;29 &amp; 30).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ensp;<a href="#mt8" id="mn8">8</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="#mt9" id="mn9">9</a> Many respondents who reported Medicare coverage likely fell within the 76&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 coverage. A few others may have received Medicare coverage through Railroad Retirement or other programs. However, we suspect that the self-reported 99&nbsp;percent Medicare coverage rate is partially due to confusion between Medicare and Medicaid among <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients.</p>
