I estimate the effect of removing children with disabilities from Supplemental Security Income (SSI) on parental earnings and household disability receipt. Using administrative data from the Social Security Administration (SSA), I implement regression discontinuity and differencein- differences designs based on changes in SSA's budget for child medical reviews. I find that parents fully offset the SSI loss with increased earnings, and the loss of the child's SSI payment reduces disability applications by parents and siblings but does not reduce their actual disability receipt. I examine alternative hypotheses for the large parental earnings response.

残疾补助金对家庭收入和收入的影响:来自SSI儿​​童计划的证据

我估计从补充安全收入(SSI)中删除残疾儿童对父母收入和家庭残疾收据的影响。利用来自社会保障局(SSA)的管理数据,我基于SSA的儿童医学检查预算变化实施了回归不连续性和差异设计。我发现父母可以用增加的收入完全抵消SSI的损失,而孩子SSI支付的损失减少了父母和兄弟姐妹的残疾申请,但并没有减少他们的实际残疾收据。我研究了父母收入较大的替代假设。
