Abstract: We assess how increased Medicaid generosity affects participation in SSI. In states where SSI recipients did not automatically receive Medicaid, expansions in public health insurance coverage significantly decreased applications and awards. In the long-term, increased Medicaid eligibility during childhood reduced young adult SSI applications.
