1. Promoting Opportunity
Demonstration—0960–NEW. Section
823 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015
requires SSA to carry out the Promoting
Opportunity Demonstration (POD) to
test a new benefit offset formula for
Social Security Disability Insurance
(SSDI) beneficiaries. Therefore, SSA is
undertaking POD, a demonstration to
evaluate the affect the new policy will
have on SSDI beneficiaries and their
families in several critical areas: (1)
Employment, (2) benefits, (3) earnings,
and (4) income (earnings plus benefits).
Under current law, Social Security
beneficiaries lose their SSDI benefit if
they have earnings or work activity
above the threshold of Substantial
Gainful Activity (SGA). The POD
evaluation will draw on previous
lessons from related work incentive
experiences, especially SSA’s Benefit
Offset National Demonstration (BOND),
0960–0785, which tested a different
offset formula. POD tests a different
policy than BOND in two important
ways: (1) A lower threshold at which
point the offset is applied—increasing
the likelihood of reducing benefit
expenditures relative to current law
expenditures; and (2) A more immediate
adjustment to the benefits—to increase
the salience and clarity of the offset
policy for beneficiaries. The POD will
test a benefit offset that will reduce
benefits by $1 for every $2 in
participants’ earnings above the POD
threshold, gradually reducing benefits
as earnings increase. The POD threshold
will equal the greater of (1) an inflationadjusted trial work period level ($840 in
2017); or (2) the amount of the
participant’s itemized impairmentrelated work expenses up to SGA. The
new rules we will test in POD also
simplify work incentives and we intend
them to promote employment and
reduce dependency on benefits.
The design for POD will include
implementation and evaluation
activities designed to answer seven
central research questions:
• What are the impacts of the two
POD benefit designs on beneficiaries’
earnings, SSDI benefits, and total
earnings and benefit income?
• Is POD attractive to beneficiaries?
Do they remain engaged over time?
• How were the POD offset policies
implemented, and what operational,
