Abstract: The Social Security Administration’s (SSA’s) Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program provides crucial financial support to individuals unable to work due to a medical condition. Having access to and understanding information about SSDI among working adults is an important factor in connecting people with benefits. The purpose of the survey to is understand information working adults currently have about the SSDI program to improve projections of disability applications and incidence. SSA is requesting clearance to administer the Disability Perception Survey (DPS) to a sample of working age adult SSDI program recipients, and those who qualify for this benefit, to capture attitudes and perceptions about SSDI among working-age adults in the general population, and to determine what roles those factors ultimately play in an individual’s decision to apply to the program. The DPS evaluation will consist of two parts: (1) the DPS survey administered to working-age adults (18 to 64 years of age) who are either SSDI recipients or those who qualify for SSDI; and (2) links of the survey data, including the individuals’ social security numbers, to individuals’ administrative records for research purpose. SSA will use the data the DPS collects to learn about the average American SSDI adult recipient’s knowledge and understanding of the SSDI program and about who qualifies for these benefits. SSA contracted with NORC at the University of Chicago to conduct the DPS data collection. The respondents are working adults (age 18-64) SSDI program recipients, and those who may qualify for SSDI benefits for SSDI benefits.
