This article analyzes duration on the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability rolls prior to age 65 among children and working-age adults, based on a 10-year followup of 1974-82 cohorts of new awardees by utilizing monthly data from administrative records for 1974-92, and on statistical projections beyond the followup period. Although SSI means testing is responsible for a high proportion of early suspensions, when multiple spells are accounted for, long stays dominate. The estimated mean length of all first SSI spells is 5.5 years. It is 11.3 years for disabled children, 1.3 years for disabled adults eligible for both the Social Security Administration's Disability Insurance (DI) and SSI, and 6.4 years for adults eligible for SSI only. When multiple spells are accounted for, the projected mean total preretirement-age SSI disability stay almost doubles to 10.5 years for all awardees and increases to 26.7 years for children.
本文基于对1974 - 1982年新获补助者队列的10年随访，利用1974 - 1992年行政记录的月度数据，并结合随访期后的统计预测，分析了65岁之前儿童和工作年龄成年人领取补充保障收入（SSI）残疾补助的持续时间。尽管SSI的收入调查导致了很大比例的早期停发，但如果考虑多次补助期，长期领取补助的情况占主导。所有首次SSI补助期的估计平均时长为5.5年。残疾儿童为11.3年，符合社会保障管理局残疾保险（DI）和SSI条件的残疾成年人是1.3年，仅符合SSI条件的成年人是6.4年。如果考虑多次补助期，所有受助者退休前领取SSI残疾补助的预计平均总时长几乎翻倍至10.5年，儿童则增至26.7年。
