* We base this figure on the Federal minimum wage of $7.25, as survey participants will have recently applied for SSA disability benefits and will typically not have started receiving benefits yet (
https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/minimumwage). |
Note:
Our contractor will schedule an appointment to call the recipient at their preferred date and time; therefore, the respondents will not incur an average wait time. |
** This figure does not represent actual costs that SSA is imposing on recipients of Social Security payments to complete this application; rather, these are theoretical opportunity costs for the additional time respondents will spend to complete the application.
There is no actual charge to respondents to complete the application.
