Persons Receiving Intensive Benefit Support

The overall patterns of anticipated employment status change were also fairly constant across the three groups; however, there were a few minor differences. Over half of the beneficiaries in each group anticipated that they would be seeking a new or supplemental job in the future. In comparison to the other two groups, a slightly larger proportion of SSDI beneficiaries indicated that they intended to use the Ticket to Work program to seek employment. SSI beneficiaries were about half as likely to indicate that they intended to decrease their current work hours than SSDI or concurrent beneficiaries. A smaller proportion of SSDI beneficiaries indicated that they intended to pursue education/training than was true for the other two groups.
