2 Beginning 1995, disabled households are defined as householdswith at least one member under age 65 whoreceived SSI, or at least one member age 18 to 61 who
receivedSocial Security, veterans benefits, or othergovernment benefits as a result of a disability. For years prior to 1995, disabled households are defined ashouseholds with SSI but
no members over age 59.The substantial increase in the percentage of households witha disabled member between 1994 and 1995 is due in part to thechange in the definition of disabled
households.Using the previous definition, 13.3 percent of householdsincluded a disabled person in fiscal year 1995.
