Annual Data for Machine-Readable Datasets for Actuarial Note 159
Federal Data Catalog Identifier for Collection: US-GOV-SSA-1859
In Actuarial Note 159, "Probability of Death While Pending an Administrative Law Judge Determination", we provide the number of applicants pending an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) determination and the number of these individuals who died while waiting for fiscal years 2006–2017. We also provide the death rate among those pending an ALJ determination on an age-sex adjusted basis, and show that this death rate has changed little, declining slightly over these years. The data and analysis in Actuarial Note 159 is in PDF format. We are providing these datasets as machine readable versions.
Each one of these datasets needs to be reviewed and analyzed within the context of Actuarial Note 159.
Notes
- A Federal Fiscal Year (FY) is the 12-month period that starts the Saturday after the last Friday of September and ends the last Friday of September. Most years our fiscal year workload reports contain 52 weeks since we include only full weeks, rather than cut off in the middle of a week. Every few years the reporting period is 53 weeks when we apply the end of week cutoff.
- Reporting quarters are administratively set reporting periods and do not necessarily correspond exactly to calendar months.
