    Abstract

    Still in its early design stages, the Work Incentive Simplification Pilot is a Social Security Administration demonstration to test major simplifications to the Social Security Disability Insurance work incentives. This report presents recommendations from a technical advisory panel, convened by Mathematica and representing the academic, nonprofit, and governmental fields, to provide input on evaluation design options.
