Abstract: | This paper studies pre-eligibility age labor market disincentives created by the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. Asset and income limits might induce individuals nearing the eligibility age to work less. The authors exploit states' supplementation of federal SSI benefits to estimate the effects of SSI on pre-retirement labor supply (and earnings) of men who are likely to participate in SSI after retirement, as they near the eligibility age. |
