Comment #1: The commentor is concerned about the practical utility of this information and the potential for inadvertent dissemination of confidential information as a consequence of the accessibility by the many organizations that have access to such information. The commentor also states SPMI is a very serious issue that has been inadequately addressed for some time. The commentor also states coordinating all participating agencies to unite their efforts and intentions in order to facilitate funding for these inmates, may be a greater challenge
SSA Response: Researchers have implemented stringent measures to limit access to the data exclusively to individuals who genuinely and essentially require it. Every researcher granted access to the data has completed comprehensive training and obtained certifications specifically designed to ensure the safeguarding and ethical management of data involving human subjects. The Social Security Administration (SSA) also acknowledges and addresses the concerns raised by the commentors regarding inmates with serious and persistent mental illness. SSA agrees that significant efforts must be undertaken to address this issue.
