A sample of Social Secu- rity recipients were matched against the 8 largest Federal programs, 12 large State or local government disability programs, and the workers' compensation programs of the States and territories. The matched programs repre- sented about 98 percent of the total Federal beneficiaries and about 38 percent of the total State and local government beneficiaries. The results showed that about 16 percent of the Social Security beneficiaries received ben- efits from multiple programs and about 41 percent of them received aggregate benefits exceeding their predisability earnings. We estimate that about $149 million could be saved annually by applying an offset to the Civil Service, Military, Black Lung B, and local government disability programs. Extending the offset to the Veterans Compensation pro- gram could save an additional $283 million annually. HRD-81-127 JULY 28, 1981 1c cou 1' 115980 0 t, 1z j~1/1 7f~ a ~r
