Social Security Reform: Potential Effects on Ssa's Disability Programs and Beneficiaries

In 1999, disabled beneficiaries & their families accounted for about 17% of all Social Security (SS) beneficiaries. This report assesses the potential effects of Social Security reform options on the solvency of the Social Security Disability Insur. (DI) program trust fund & the benefits disabled beneficiaries receive. It analyzes both the potential effects of comprehensive SS reform proposals on the solvency of the DI trust fund & on the benefits that disabled beneficiaries receive & the likely contribution that individual proposal provisions would make to these effects. Examines the implications of SS reform for the Supplemental Security-income individuals with disabilities.Barbara D.
