Abstract:

The relationship between disability, income and program participation is at the core of disability policy and program analysis and econometric models underlying these analyses. Disability analyses have been limited because the two main data sources, i.e., the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), have not historically contained all the needed data. The CPS (basis of most models) is a strong source of economic and program participation data, but weak on disability data. The NHIS, a strong source of disability data, has traditionally been weak on income and program participation data (except for 1990-1996). The purpose of this paper is to analyze data from the 1994-1996 NHIS and CPS to examine relationships between disability, participation in SSDI/SSI, health status, income and poverty. The analysis requires several steps: (1) develop annual NHIS income measures; (2) make comparisons between the CPS and the NHIS; and (3) compare disability estimates from the NHIS and the CPS (i.e., the prevalence of disability and number of persons who reported receiving or applying to SSDI and/or SSI) based on various levels of income and poverty.
