Description
Nearly 7 million Americans with disabilities receive federally sponsored cash support and health care benefits from the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program (U.S. House of Representatives, 2000). These individuals experience a range of long-term disabling conditions that bring them into contact with health care and other social services systems. Social workers in these varied settings are likely to encounter individuals with disabilities who receive SSI. Research has documented a high rate of co-occurring substance abuse disorders among SSI beneficiaries with mental health disorders. However, the prevalence of substance abuse disorders among individuals receiving SSI because of other long-term disabling conditions is not as well documented. Medicaid costs for providing health care to individuals receiving SSI are higher than costs for other Medicaid beneficiaries. A co-occurring substance abuse disorder may increase the expense and complexity of providing services to people who receive SSI.
