Health Care When Workers Need It Most: Before And After Entry Into The Social Security Disability Insurance Program – Journal Abstract

Changes in characteristics, insurance status, and health care access were illustrated in this study that analyzed survey data on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries during the six-year window surrounding SSDI entitlement. Findings suggest that there are significant gaps in the safety net for disabled workers before, during, and after the transition to SSDI.
