US-born workers receive disability benefits more often than workers from abroad

(University of Chicago Medical Center) People born elsewhere who work in the United States are much less likely to receive Social Security Disability Insurance benefits than those born in the US or its territories. Foreign-born adults are less likely to report health-related impediments to working, to be covered by work-disability insurance and to apply for disability benefits.
