Social Security Disability Insurance
155 million workers under age 66 are insured against
becoming unable to work
9 million workers now receive DI benefits
• 2 million “dependents” - mostly children
Many more protected from loss of insured status
• And from lower retirement benefits
Benefits replace 40% to 45% of career earnings on
average
• 76% for very-low earner, 27% for steady maximum earner

So, Adjustments are needed soon: for DI,
20% lower cost, or 25% more revenue
Changes for DI alone are not likely to make
a big difference for the long run
• Time Limited benefit entitlement?
– Coburn proposal would save less than 1/3 of the
projected DI long-term shortfall
• Change the vocational grid ages?
– Coburn proposal would save only about 10% of the
long-term DI shortfall
• Offset DI for UI?
– Saves only 3% of of LR DI shortfall
• Increase Normal Retirement age?
– Increases DI long-term shortfall.
How to Fix Social Security (OASDI)
• First: Help DI soon---reallocate tax rate?
• Second: Address the long-term solvency
of the OASDI program;
–Raise scheduled revenue by about 33%:
increase revenue from 4.6 to 6.0% of GDP
–Reduce scheduled benefits by about 25%:
lower benefits to what 4.6% of GDP will buy
–Or some combination of the two
13
Ways to Lower Cost
• Lower benefits for retirees—not disabled?
– Increase normal retirement age (lowers OASDI cost, but
shifts a greater portion to DI)
– Can exempt long-career low earners
• Lower benefits mainly for high earners?
– Reduce PIA above some level
– Often combined with increasing PIA below some level,
subject to work year requirements
• Lower benefits mainly for the oldest old?
– Reduce the COLA
– Increase in COLA also proposed
14
Ways to Increase Revenue
• Raise tax on highest earners?
–Increase taxable maximum amount
–Some tax on all earnings above the maximum
• Tax employer group health insurance
premiums?
–Affects only middle class if taxable maximum
remains
• Maintain larger trust fund reserves?
–Added interest can lower needed taxes

  • 11. 11 So, Adjustments are needed soon: for DI, 20% lower cost, or 25% more revenue
  • 12. Changes for DI alone are not likely to make a big difference for the long run • Time Limited benefit entitlement? – Coburn proposal would save less than 1/3 of the projected DI long-term shortfall • Change the vocational grid ages? – Coburn proposal would save only about 10% of the long-term DI shortfall • Offset DI for UI? – Saves only 3% of of LR DI shortfall • Increase Normal Retirement age? – Increases DI long-term shortfall.
  • 13. How to Fix Social Security (OASDI) • First: Help DI soon---reallocate tax rate? • Second: Address the long-term solvency of the OASDI program; –Raise scheduled revenue by about 33%: increase revenue from 4.6 to 6.0% of GDP –Reduce scheduled benefits by about 25%: lower benefits to what 4.6% of GDP will buy –Or some combination of the two 13
  • 14. Ways to Lower Cost • Lower benefits for retirees—not disabled? – Increase normal retirement age (lowers OASDI cost, but shifts a greater portion to DI) – Can exempt long-career low earners • Lower benefits mainly for high earners? – Reduce PIA above some level – Often combined with increasing PIA below some level, subject to work year requirements • Lower benefits mainly for the oldest old? – Reduce the COLA – Increase in COLA also proposed 14
  • 15. Ways to Increase Revenue • Raise tax on highest earners? –Increase taxable maximum amount –Some tax on all earnings above the maximum • Tax employer group health insurance premiums? –Affects only middle class if taxable maximum remains • Maintain larger trust fund reserves? –Added interest can lower needed taxes 15
