Abstract

We explore the extent to which schools affect children’s applications to Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools varied in the extent to which they offered in-person learning during the 2020-21 school year. We use this variation to better understand the way schools, potentially through teacher referrals and informal networks, influence applications to SSI.
