摘要
This DataWatch traces changes over time in the age and health characteristics of persons awarded Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. SSDI beneficiaries are increasingly younger and more likely to be incapacitated by health conditions that at any age lengthen spells of disablement. These changes have had a significant impact on SSDI operations; they also have important implications for financing the Medicare program.
