• New Beneficiary Data System ( More about this ) - The New Beneficiary Data System (NBDS), developed over the past decade, contains extensive information on the changing circumstances of aged and disabled beneficiaries.

It contains objective measures from administrative files of yearly covered earnings from 1951 to 2000, Medicare expenditures from 1984 to 1992, whether an SSI application has ever been made and payment status at 5 points in time, and dates of death as of spring 2001. For studies of health, the Medicare expenditure variables include inpatient hospital costs, outpatient hospital costs, home health care costs, and physicians' charges. The survey data cover functional capacity including ADLs and IADLs. For studies of work in retirement, the survey includes yearly information on extent of work, characteristics of the current or last job, and reasons for working or not working. No other data set has such detailed baseline survey data of a population immediately after their retirement or disability enhanced with subsequent measures over an extended period of time.
