Survey of Low Income Aged and Disabled, United States, 1973-1974 (ICPSR 7661)
Released/updated on: 2018-11-19
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1973-01-01--1974-12-31
This data collection contains the results of the Survey of Low Income Aged and Disabled (SLIAD), conducted in 1973-1974 in order to collect demographic and socioeconomic data necessary for assessing the effect of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program on potential recipients. After January 1, 1974, SSI replaced the state-administered welfare programs of Old Age Assistance (OAA), Aid to the Blind (AB), and Aid to the Permanently and Totally Disabled (APTD) and was meant to improve the economic well-being of the adult poor. A national sample of about 18,000 low-income aged, blind, and/or disabled adults was interviewed in 1973, and reinterviewed in 1974, after SSI was implemented. The 1974 re-interviews were conducted only with persons successfully interviewed in 1973. No new cases were added to replace first-year losses, nor were cases dropped because they no longer met SSI eligibility. Part 1 contains data gathered from a sample made up of aged and disabled persons who received OAA, AB, and/or APTD payments in 1973. Part 2 contains data gathered from a sample of low-income aged and disabled people in the general population (generated from Current Population Survey samples). The United States Census Bureau conducted the interviews and collected the data. The 1973 survey placed great emphasis on financial matters. Each respondent was asked to report income received in the preceding month and year by each of three general classes of persons in the household. The questionnaire listed more than 15 income sources including payments and awards from almost every transfer program possible, earnings from jobs and businesses, gifts, and dividends. The financial section of the questionnaire also included items aimed at establishing the value of owned property, savings and investments, the amount of indebtedness, and the amount spent for food, shelter, and other recurring household expenditures. For the most part, the remainder of the questionnaire concerned (1) household composition, (2) personal history, (3) health, health care, and the capacity for self-maintenance, (4) standard of living, as represented by housing, diet, travel, and recreation, (5) factors that might affect the relation between income and standard of living (e.g., personal preference, physical capacity, and access), and (6) attitudinal response to these conditions, circumstances, and types of status. The 1974 survey was similar in that it asked almost all of the earlier income and asset questions, but added a section on SSI payments. It also collected more detail on household living expenses. It did not repeat the biographical section or the inventory of health conditions from the 1973 survey, but did contain new questions on a spouses' funeral expenses as well as the respondent's experience with SSI.

Survey of Disability and Work, 1978: [United States] (ICPSR 8491)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1978-01-01--1978-12-31
The Survey of Disability and Work was designed to examine the economic, medical, and social consequences of limitation in work activity for the disabled person and the person's family, including eligibility for public income-maintenance programs. This study includes information on disability program provisions and the public's knowledge of these government programs, as well as the source for this information and advice as to whether or not to apply for any of the various kinds of benefits. Other objectives of this survey were to examine work incentives and income adequacy as they affect a disabled person's inclination to apply for benefits or to return to the labor force once on the rolls. Measures of medical severity (in terms of symptoms and diagnoses) were established, as well as, the number and characteristics of the disabled, the proportion of different forms of health problems, national disability rates for different races and age groups, and the proportion of the disabled whose total family income falls below the poverty level. Included in this data collection are variables on the labor force, work experience and limitations, job satisfaction, attitudinal data, family income and background, government programs, and disability benefits.
