In the United States, 10.9 million people are receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits with an average pay of $12,000 per year. If the U.S. House of Congress fails to enact a new bill by the end of fiscal-year 2016, SSDI benefits are estimated to be reduced by $2,300 per-person per year. In the pass, the U.S. Congress has always found a way to enact new bills capable of maintains benefits at existing levels. The specific aim of this project was to report the number of people potentially at risk for experiencing an economic impact if SSDI benefits are reduced. The cross-sectional analysis used data from the American Community Survey, 2009-2013 Public Use Microdata Sample file. Characteristics on a total of 153,627 actual survey participants were used to generalize findings to 2,748,735 residents of the United States. Results indicate non-Hispanic Whites, the Pacific and South Atlantic geographic divisions are at the largest risk for being affected by changes to SSDI benefits.
在美国，1090万人正在领取社会保障残疾保险（SSDI）福利，平均年薪为1.2万美元。如果美国国会众议院在2016财年结束前未能颁布新法案，预计SSDI福利将每人每年减少2300美元。过去，美国国会总能找到办法颁布新法案，使福利维持在现有水平。本项目的具体目标是报告如果SSDI福利减少，可能面临经济影响风险的人数。横断面分析使用了2009 - 2013年美国社区调查公共使用微数据样本文件中的数据。共153627名实际调查参与者的特征被用于将研究结果推广至2748735名美国居民。结果表明，非西班牙裔白人、太平洋和南大西洋地理区域受SSDI福利变化影响的风险最大。
