This article reports on the final phase of a longitudinal analysis of two cohorts of Disability Insurance (DI) beneficiaries. The analysis shows that changes in DI program provisions and demographic shifts in the beneficiary population have considerably affected standard recovery termination rates. Several covariates were also found to affect the rates, particularly age and education. Overall, the 1985 cohort has a lower standard recovery termination tendency during the first few years of entitlement. After an attempt was made to define a recovery event for the 1985 cohort to make it comparable to the 1972 cohort, it was found that the termination rate for the 1985 cohort was still lower than the termination rate for the 1972 cohort. These findings suggest that there will be fewer recoveries for beneficiaries who entered the DI program in the late 1980's than for those who came on the rolls earlier.
本文报告了对两组残疾保险（DI）受益人进行纵向分析的最后阶段情况。分析表明，DI项目条款的变化以及受益人群的人口结构变化对标准恢复终止率产生了相当大的影响。还发现几个协变量会影响这些比率，尤其是年龄和教育程度。总体而言，1985年那组人群在享有权益的头几年里标准恢复终止倾向较低。在尝试为1985年那组人群定义一个恢复事件以便使其与1972年那组人群具有可比性之后，发现1985年那组人群的终止率仍低于1972年那组人群的终止率。这些发现表明，与较早加入DI项目的受益人相比，20世纪80年代末进入该项目的受益人康复的情况会更少。
