- The "Denied Social Security - No SSI" subgroup had a greater likelihood of earnings over \$1,040 (three times more likely to have such earnings compared to the Social Security or SSI Beneficiaries groups) and lower hospitalization and poverty rates.
- These results dispel assumptions concerning denied applicants' more limited labor market opportunities.
- The "Denied Social Security - No Other" subgroup had a lower likelihood of earnings over \$1,040 and higher hospitalization and poverty rates.
- The removal of denied individuals with more favorable circumstances (e.g., receiving other benefits) more accurately reflects the whole of the denied population.
- The denied population experiences overall lower earnings and high hospitalization and poverty rates compared to the general population.
