| SOURCE: 1996 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) matched to SSA administrative records. | ||||||||
| NOTES: Individuals receiving disability benefits in December 1998 are identified using SSA administrative data. The unweighted sample size is 1,039 cases for disabled workers and 142 cases for disabled adult children. Disabled widow(er)s are excluded because the unweighted sample size is less than 30 cases, which is deemed too small to support statistically reliable estimates. | ||||||||
