BOND Implementation and Evaluation: Third-Year Snapshot of Earnings and Benefit Impacts for Stage 1

This report documents impacts on earnings and benefit outcomes during the third calendar year of implementation of the Social Security Administration's Benefit Offset National Demonstration (BOND). The report focuses on Stage 1, which is designed to examine how a national benefit offset would affect earnings and program outcomes for the entire SSDI population, and finds that the benefit offset administered under BOND did not have a statistically significant impact on total earnings in 2013—similar to previously reported findings for 2011 and 2012.
