abstract: 'This study examines barriers to economic self-sufficiency among a panel

  of 219 former Supplemental Security Income (SSI) drug addiction and

  alcoholism (DAA) recipients following elimination of DAA as an

  eligibility category for SSI disability benefits. Study participants

  were comprehensively surveyed at six measurement points following the

  policy change. Generalized estimating equations were used to examine

  full-sample and gender-specific barriers to economic self-sufficiency.

  Results indicate that access to transportation, age, and time are the

  strongest predictors of achieving self-sufficiency for both men and

  women leaving the welfare system. Gender-specific barriers are also

  identified. Future research needs to assess the generalizability of

  these results to other public assistance recipients.'
