NOTE: See the notes to Table 6. Estimates come from Equation [2]. 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 rate is 0.00975.
