| Abstract | As one of a series of topic papers assessing federal laws and programs affecting persons with disabilities, this paper outlines several ways in which existing Social Security laws serve to discourage and penalize people with disabilities if they seek to become employed and self-supporting. Programs funded under the Social Security Act are described, including Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Medicaid, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and Medicare. The disincentives to work which are found in these programs are then detailed. These disincentives include, among others, the reduction of SSI or SSDI benefits and the loss of income security when a recipient returns to work, and the lack of private health insurance for people with disabilities, forcing them into income support programs. Two case studies demonstrate successful experiences associated with a federal program which allows employed workers with disabilities to continue receiving Medicaid benefits for disability-related expenses. A third case study illustrates the work disincentive that results when a person with disabilities who has vocational potential is automatically eligible for income support payments. Costs and benefits associated with removing the work disincentives in current programs are explored, and recommendations are made to correct provisions of existing Social Security laws. (JDD) |
