The Disability Policy Project of the National Academy of Social Insurance began with a request from the Chairmen of the Committee on Ways and Means of the U.S. House of Representatives and its Social Security Subcommittee during the 102nd Congress. The Academy was asked to undertake a fundamental review of the Social Security disability programs, with particular emphasis on improving work outcomes for applicants, beneficiaries, and denied applicants for disability benefits. To do that, the Academy assembled a panel of leading experts on disability policy from varied disciplines and very different perspectives on disability policy.

From the Publisher

The National Academy of Social Insurance is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization made up of the nation's leading experts on social insurance. Its mission is to conduct research and enhance public understanding of social insurance, to develop new leaders, and to provide a nonpartisan forum for exchange of ideas on important issues in the field of social insurance. The Academy convenes study panels that are charged with conducting research, issuing findings and, in some cases, reaching recommendations based on their analyses. Panel members are selected for their recognized expertise and with due consideration for the balance of disciplines and perspectives appropriate to the project. The views expressed in this report do not represent an official position of the National Academy of Social Insurance or its funders. In accordance with procedures of the Academy, the report has been reviewed by a committee of the Board for completeness, accuracy, clarity, and objectivity. The findings and recommendations in this report are those of the Committee on Childhood Disability of the Disability Policy Panel. This project received financial support from the Pew Charitable Trusts, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and corporate members of the Health Insurance Association of America that offer long-term disability insurance.
