"When we outlive our ability to work, lose a spouse, become disabled or have a dependent with a disability, Social Security programs provide benefits." So, what happens if SS goes away? @jmcollinswi.bsky.social and @tylerqwelch.bsky.social explore that costly scenario: www.yahoo.com/news/congres...

The insurance protection that Social Security programs provide has tangible economic benefits. Without them, we all need to rethink our finances.

New paper in @jpube.bsky.social: Changing SSDI work incentives by replacing a cash cliff—where people lose their benefits by earning even $1 above a threshold—with a benefit offset does not affect work activity (using an RCT with 10,000 SSDI beneficiaries). The key question then is why! 1/5

Bar chart showing treatment and control means are not significantly different for four primary outcomes: average annual earnings, SSDI benefit amount, average annual income, and substantive earnings.
