NOTE: See the notes to Table 6. Estimates come from equation [4]. We present the coefficients for the interactions with SSA1983 * disability only. Standard errors, in parentheses, are clustered at the state level. We weight our regressions using HRS person-level weights. Significantly different from zero at 1-percent level (***), 5-percent level (**), or 10-percent level (*). The mean rate for SSDI application (receipt) rate for the entire sample is 0.00975 (0.00563). We also calculate p-values using the Simes procedure, which controls for the false discovery rate. The only statistically significant estimate that maintains significance after applying Simes is the −0.00670 coefficient in column (3) for ages 65 to the FRA in states with the medical definition of disability (significant at 10 percent level).
