Concept

Currently Receiving Social Security or SSI Disability and Administrative Data

  • Notably, the census used administrative records from the SSA to correct current survey reports (for SIPP 2014), an important innovation considering some respondents would get confused over whether they received SS or SSI.
  • SS and SSI Beneficiaries groups had similar rates of hospitalization and levels of poverty compared to the 2013 SS group.
  • SSI groups experienced a high level of poverty.
  • 9% of SS Beneficiaries individuals had earnings above $1,040 compared to 3.6% for 2013 SS individuals (due to SS Beneficiaries including ever-receipt individuals like those who exited the program).
