Programs like SSI and SSDI help millions of U.S. residents through monthly support that is especially critical for low-income and aging people with a disability. Research shows that current and prospective beneficiaries may struggle to navigate the application process and eligibility requirements. In this webinar, panelists will present and discuss research on administrative burden in accessing SSA program benefits as well as participation and barriers to employment.
