Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) Application rates for federal Disability Insurance (DI) have risen since the late-1990s. (2) The economy is a key driver; rising unemployment and declining labor force participation lead to higher DI application rates. (3) Interestingly, states with strict health insurance regulations have lower application rates, a finding that merits further exploration.
