NOTE: Individuals receiving disability benefits in December 2001 are identified using SSA administrative data for those who provided a valid Social Security number (SSN) and using self-reported SIPP data for those who did not provide a valid SSN. The unweighted sample size is 1,124 cases for all disabled beneficiaries and 1,037 for disabled workers. Disabled widow(er)s and disabled adult children are not shown separately because the unweighted sample size is too small to support statistically reliable estimates.
