May 18, 2010 Final reports from each of the 4 states involved in the Benefit Offset Pilot Demonstration are now available on our website at: http://www.ssa.gov/disabilityresearch/offsetpilot.htm May 17, 2010 On May 3, 2010, we entered into an agreement with the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the Department of Health and Human Services allowing us to link national administrative data from their Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program to SSA disability data for research purposes. This will allow us to analyze the volume and characteristics of TANF clients with disabilities applying for SSI/SSDI and the outcomes of their applications. This data analysis will support the TANF-SSI Disability Transition Project, a research partnership between ACF, SSA, and several state and local authorities that is designed to identify ways to improve coordination of the TANF and SSI programs. The project should also provide information for TANF reauthorization next year. April 15, 2010 The reports from the Youth Transition Demonstration Cooperative Agreement sites have been posted to our web site at YTD Cooperative Agreement Sites - Status and Reports. April 14, 2010 January 20, 2010 OPDR's Disclosure Review Board (DRB) has approved release of round 3 of the National Beneficiary Survey (NBS) public use file. This third public use file follows the release of the NBS round 1 file in September 2009 and round 2 in December 2009. The NBS collects data on a wide range of topics including employment, limiting conditions, experience with SSA programs, employment services, health and functional status, health insurance, income, and socio-demographic information. Together the round 1, round 2, and round 3 public use files provide data on 13,892 SSA beneficiaries with disabilities. The DRB reviewed the data to ensure that it would not pose an undue risk of disclosure for NBS survey participants. January 6, 2010
