Description

The Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) and Unemployment Insurance (UI) trust funds face serious fiscal sustainability challenges. In addition to other services, both programs provide cash benefits to their targeted populations to replace lost earings. DI is available to workers who are unable to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA) because of physical or mental impairments expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. SGA is defined as work activity that involves significant physical or mental activities performed for pay or profit. UI provides temporary cash benefits to eligible workers who are able to work but remain involuntarily unemployed. This report determined the extent to which individuals received DI and UI benefits concurrently. Includes recommendations. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
