Health Benefits for the Uninsured
Design and Early Implementation of the Accelerated Benefits Demonstration
Policy Brief
|
| |
|
|
2008. David Whittenburg, Peter Baird, Lisa Schwartz, and David Butler.
Many Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries have serious and immediate health care needs, but, under current law, most are not eligible for Medicare until 24 months after they start receiving cash benefits. This policy brief describes a new project that is testing whether providing earlier access to health benefits, as well as other services, for new SSDI beneficiaries who have no other health insurance improves employment and health outcomes.
