The New Beneficiary Data System (NBDS), developed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) over the past decade, is an increasingly important source of information on the changing circumstances of aged and disabled beneficiaries. Based initially on a survey of new beneficiaries conducted in 1982, the data set was subsequently enhanced with information from administrative records, and, in 1991, through followup interviews with survivors from the original survey. All data, of course, meet rigorous standards for the protection of individuals' privacy and confidentiality. Beginning with this issue of the Social Security Bulletin, we will be presenting brief statistical reports from the New Beneficiary Data System, with special emphasis on the results of the New Beneficiary Followup survey; more extensive analyses will follow.
由社会保障管理局（SSA）在过去十年中开发的新受益人数据系统（NBDS），正日益成为有关老年和残疾受益人情况变化的重要信息来源。该数据集最初基于1982年对新受益人的一项调查，随后通过行政记录中的信息以及1991年对原始调查幸存者的后续访谈得到了扩充。当然，所有数据都符合保护个人隐私和保密的严格标准。从本期《社会保障公报》开始，我们将展示来自新受益人数据系统的简要统计报告，特别强调新受益人后续调查的结果；随后还会有更广泛的分析。
