Description
Clients that are designated as long-term disabled in the Maryland TCA caseload are exempt from participation in work activities, but they are required to apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This report examines the long-term disabled cases from October 2011, investigating how many cases eventually receive SSI as well as how many never apply for SSI. We find that less than one-third of these cases received SSI by October 2014, and only a handful of cases never applied. We also explore TCA and employment outcomes by SSI status.
