Abstract: Understanding the program, benefit, and income paths that persons access before they obtain Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) could provide a crucial perspective in the ability to identify ways to reduce the inflow to the program. For this study, we used data from public surveys combined with information from the Social Security Administration to examine benefits and incomes used by DI beneficiaries. Program participation among DI beneficiaries before they obtained DI and the relative risk in moving to DI from a particular benefit was analyzed. A large proportion of DI beneficiaries received workers' compensation benefits, employer disability benefits, retirement income, and food stamps before obtaining DI, or they lacked health insurance or were covered through Medicaid. Persons involved with employer disability benefits, personal disability insurance, government employee disability benefits, and, for men, Medicaid and public assistance, had the highest risks of obtaining DI. Targeting specific programs with projects and interventions involving employment and health care for individuals at-risk of obtaining DI could reduce the need to apply for DI benefits.
