The relevance of the article lies in the need to modernize the social protection system of Kazakhstan to solve the problems of poverty. The study aims to offer opportunities for the transformation and implementation of international experience in the field of social security in the legislation of Kazakhstan. Applying the legal comparative method, the authors identified the main parameters of the social protection systems of the European member states of the International Labor Organization and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Analysis of the development of legislation on social security and social insurance has revealed the possibility of transforming the legislation of Kazakhstan in accordance with foreign standards and suggest steps to be taken to build a welfare state: systematization and codification of legislation on social security and social insurance; the continuation of the formation of the legal framework for compulsory social insurance for temporary disability, for pregnancy and childbirth; updating health insurance legislation; legislative consolidation of specific criteria and standards that will allow more clearly determine the types and volumes of guaranteed social security.

Full textAbstract:
The United States has been a leader in the creation of disability rights law, providing a policy template for other nations. Yet the social model, the animating philosophy behind the disability rights movement, has had little effect on the wide range of welfare programs that serve people with disabilities. These programs, whose creation preceded the modern disability rights movement, reflect a medical model of disability that is at odds with the social model. Analysing the Americans with Disabilities Act (which embodies the social model) and Social Security Disability Insurance (the largest welfare program for people with disabilities), we explore how and why this layering of contradictory disability rights and welfare programs developed and how it has been maintained. We argue that the tension between these policies engendered a series of patches, or ‘kludges’, that allow the policies to coexist without meaningful synthesis. We contend that the United States is particularly prone to this layering of ‘tense policies’, but that it is likely characteristic of disability policy in many nations. Finally we argue that accurate benchmarking of disability rights regimes across nations requires analysts to dig through all the layers of disability policy.

Federal law excludes millions of American citizens from crucial public benefits simply because they live in the United States territories. If the Social Security Administration determines a low-income individual has a disability, that person can move to another state and continue to receive benefits. But if that person moves to, say, Guam or the U.S. Virgin Islands, that person loses their right to federal aid. Similarly with SNAP (food stamps), federal spending rises with increased demand—whether because of a recession, a pandemic, or a climate disaster. But unlike the rest of the United States, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa receive a limited amount of federal food assistance, regardless of need. That’s why, after Hurricane Maria, despite additional congressional action, over a million Puerto Rican residents lost food assistance. And with Medicaid, federal law caps medical assistance for each of these five territories, a limit that does not exist for the fifty states or the District of Columbia. This Article draws much-needed attention to these discrepancies in legal status and social protection. It surveys the eligibility rules and financing structure of disability benefits, food assistance, and health insurance for low-income Americans in the states and the territories. A comprehensive account of these practices provokes questions about the tiers of citizenship built by a fragmented and devolved American state. Part I invokes the scholarship on social citizenship, the idea that an individual cannot meaningfully participate in society without some modicum of economic security. Part I then explores the tension between that normative commitment and one of the defining features of the American welfare state—federalism. It then elaborates the exceptional legal status of Americans who live in U.S. territories. Part II provides a comprehensive overview of federal food, medical, and disability assistance and, in doing so, demonstrates how the American territories inhabit a different and, in many ways, dilapidated corner of the American welfare state. Part III begins with an analysis of ongoing cases in federal court that challenge this facial discrimination. It then canvasses legislation introduced in Congress that would make significant progress in putting territorial Americans on par with Americans in the fifty states. To conclude, Part IV brings the states back in, using the earlier discussion of territories as an invitation to imagine an American welfare state built on a foundation other than a racial order.

Abstract Although several states use the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) when they evaluate individuals with impairments and disabilities, various disability systems exist in the United States. Disability and compensation systems have arisen to ensure that disadvantaged members of society with a medically determinable impairment, which may lead to a disability, have recourse to compensation from various sources, including state and federal workers’ compensation laws, veterans’ benefits, social welfare programs, and legal avenues. Each of these has differing definitions of disability, entitlement, benefits, procedures of claims application, adjudication, and the roles and relative weights assigned to medical vs administrative deliberations. Workers’ compensation statutes were enacted because of inadequacies of recovery from claims for injured workers under common law. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system adopted to resolve the dilemmas of tort claims by providing automatic coverage to employees injured during the course of employment; in exchange for coverage, employees forego the right to sue the employer except for wanton neglect. Other workers’ compensation programs in the United States include the Federal Employees Compensation Act; the Federal Employers Liability Act (railroads); the Jones Act (Merchant Marine Act); the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act; the Department of Veterans Affairs; Social Security; and private, long-term disability insurance.

The development of the modern welfare state is not isolated; their welfare policy implementation depends on the advanced economy, extensive coverage, the perfect system, the diversification and welfare system mandatory. Social network analysis is just take this dependence into account, and develop corresponding method to deal with the relationship between variables. This paper, based on the p* model analysis, takes Sweden and Finland, two typical Nordic welfare state, as the examples, and finds the differences in disease disability insurance, unemployment insurance and etc. To understand these differences is of great importance to think about whether to conduct the reform of the welfare state, and how to combine the concrete national conditions with the reform.

Full textAbstract:
Brazilian constitutional law has a broad and multidimensional conception of fundamental rights. The so-called Welfare Rights are part of them. They are not only formally grounded on Title II, the Bill of Fundamental Rights, but are also protected by particular Constitutional Actions established as means for judicial implementation thereof. Welfare Rights as healthcare, social insurance and social care services for the most vulnerable, enjoy, therefore, a preferential position within the Brazilian system of constitutional rights. This article maintains that in spite of adopting a strong constitutional framework for healthcare, social insurance and socialcare services, the lack of a consistent and coherent political philosophy for welfare state seriously undermine the progressive implementation of these constitutional rights. In the first part the manuscript seeks to clarify the causes of this circumstance of recognition of health, socialcare and social insurance as fundamental rights without equivalent recognition of social security as a proper human right. Afterwards, the article is particularly concerned with the features of the judicialization of social rights. As a matter of conclusion, the article points out this situationas a paradox by addressing the lack of a proper philosophy of social security in a context of strong constitutional protection for health, social insurance and social care services.

Full textAbstract:
We use administrative data to examine the various milestones achieved and pathways followed by new Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) awardees. Our findings show that 80% of DI-first awardees and 53% of SSI-first awardees either achieved none of the milestones we tracked in the 10 years after their initial award or their only milestone was death or attainment of full retirement age. Furthermore, many DI and SSI awardees who achieved work- or program-related milestones during the analysis period did not make additional progress toward exiting the program. For example, one third of DI-first and one fifth of SSI-first awardees who enrolled in employment services had no other milestones and one quarter of DI-first awardees who completed a trial work period either had no other milestones or their only additional milestone was enrolling in employment services. We also found that approximately one quarter of SSI-beneficiaries who later received DI had their SSI benefits suspended and terminated due to excess income that included DI payments as the only additional milestones. Finally, our analysis reveals great diversity in the paths taken to achieve work- and program-related milestones, which policy makers should consider when designing interventions to help awardees return to work.

Older workers who develop significant limitations in health or functioning face declines in income and consumption and an increased likelihood of poverty in the years prior to retirement. We assess the extent to which those differences persist after reaching retirement age. We use the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) linked to Social Security Administration (SSA) records to compare the postretirement financial well-being of workers who experienced disability onset during their working years with those who did not, based on their claiming behavior for Social Security disability and retirement benefits. We find that even after full retirement age, gaps that emerged prior to retirement persist; those who experienced disability prior to retirement had lower incomes, were more likely to be in poverty, and had significantly lower wealth. Workers with disabilities who claimed Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) fared better than those who were rejected for such benefits, yet both groups were worse off than those who delayed claiming benefits until they were eligible for Social Security Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) benefits. Our findings indicate that any changes to the Social Security benefit structure must be mindful of the short- and longer term implications for already-vulnerable groups of workers.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Previous studies generally focused on the definition of cybercrime and its effect on the market. Following Kesan’s study, this paper aims to analyse the relationship between cyber insurance and social welfare and compare it among three countries, namely, USA, UK and Turkey. The paper also discusses the main obstacles that the cyber insurer has to deal with and its effect on social welfare. This paper answers two questions related to cyber insurance at an aggregate level. First, “what kind of contribution does cyber insurance make to social welfare?” Second,“What kind of problems do insurers and insured have to face?” Although the findings are similar to Kesan’s study, this study gives an opportunity to make a country-based study and interpret the results with a different perspective. Design/methodology/approach The calculation of utility is also important for interpreting social welfare in the market. Consumer behaviour under uncertainty constructs the background for this paper because the risks of malicious attacks are contingent and independent, which means that consumers have to make their decisions under uncertainty. Von-Neumann-Morgenstern utility function is used for interpreting consumer’s behaviour. Findings Basically, there are two important conclusions that can derive for cyber insurance. First, cyber insurance can be defined as a higher security investment when coupled with increased levels of safety and a robust IT infrastructure. Second, cyber insurance, as a high-security investment, would have a positive impact on social welfare by making the internet safer for all users. The results show that the problems that lead to market failure can be virtually eliminated with an accurate risk assessment that leads to appropriate premium levels for insured. These results are consistent with those of study by Kesan et al. (2006). Research limitations/implications Data availability for different industries have limited the ability to compare the impact of cyber-crime to different sectors. Originality/value Technological devices have become part of our daily life. Although they have brought us increasing access to all types of information, including opportunities for business, they have also increased the risk of malicious attacks and the risk of e-crime. By replicating the economic model used by Kesan et al. (2006), social welfare losses and insurance premiums are calculated for three countries: USA, UK and Turkey. Questions pertaining to contribution of cyber insurance to social welfare and problems faced by insurers and insured are addressed.

Full textAbstract:
"The focus of this study is to investigate the transient deficit hypothesis in relation to children who experience Specific Reading Disability (SRD)." -- abstract. The focus of this study is to investigate the transient deficit hypothesis in relation to children who experience Specific Reading Disability (SRD). Specific Reading Disability is defined as a child of normal intelligence (or above) who has no behavioural or emotional problems but their reading age is two or more years behind their age group. The transient deficit hypothesis is a major approach in vision reading research used to account for the differences found between normal readers and children with SRD. This approach proposes that two pathways are involved in visual processing: the transient pathway is suggested to be sensitive to global features, movement, peripheral information and low spatial and high temporal frequencies; and the sustained pathway is proposed to process central features, stationary images, colour and high spatial and low temporal frequencies (Lovegrove, 1993). Transient deficit hypothesis suggests that a weak transient channel can adversely affect the two systems combining properly during reading. A sluggish transient channel may cause a superimposition of letters, causing the SRD child to see letters that appear to overlap (Lovegrove, 1993). This study investigated differences in visual processing between three groups (Chronological age-matched, SRD, and Reading age-matched) of 18 children. The transient deficit hypothesis was examined in the first experiment by using the global precedence paradigm. In Experiments 2 and 3, the sensitivity of the retina and the effect of variation of the size of stimulus were explored.. Secondary to these experiments is the fourth experiment where the influence of incongruent processing on the visual processing of SRD children was explored. The aim of Experiment 1 was to compare the performance of SRD to the performance of normal readers in processing whole and parts of a compound stimulus. Following the transient deficit hypothesis, SRD children should have shown difficulty in processing the global stimulus in comparison to the local aspect of a stimulus. The results of Experiment 1 showed that the global level was detected faster than the local level by all three experimental groups. The reaction times (RT) of SRDwere significantly slower (77 milliseconds, p <0.05) than the Chronological age-matched group, and the Reading age-matched group's times were significantly slower (96 milliseconds, p <0.05) than those of the SRD. Under the transient deficit hypothesis it could be expected that if SRD children have a weak transient channel this may lead to a deficit in processing peripheral information. Experiment 2 found that for all three groups, as stimuli were presented further from the fovea, the RT patterns best fitted with an increasing linear function. The Chronological age-matched group RT was faster than the SRD group (187 milliseconds, p <0.01), and SRD group RT was faster than the Reading age-matched group (31 milliseconds, p <0.10). The purpose of Experiment 3 was to ascertain whether SRD children would have greater difficulty in processing larger stimuli as compared to smaller stimuli. By following the spatial frequency theory it is suggested that low spatial frequency could be associated with larger stimuli, and this may lead to a slower performance by SRD. The results of Experiment 3, indicate that all three groups processed larger stimuli more slowly than they did smaller stimuli. Results for all three groups formed decreasing logarithmetic functions. SRD were significantly behind the Chronological age-matched (70 milliseconds, p <0.05), and significantly in front of the Reading age-matched group (140 milliseconds, p <0.01). From Experiment 4, it appears that conflicting information between the local and global levels, results in the global having an inhibitory influence on responding to the local level. Similar to Experiment 1, the pattern of results to global and local levels formed quadratic functions. The consistent stimuli were detected faster than the inconsistent stimuli in all three groups. In other words, SRD were not significantly different from the other two reading groups in response to inconsistent and consistent stimuli. The inconsistency of stimuli did not have a detrimental effect on their performance. Results from the four experiments show that SRD children do not have any difficulties in processing wholes in comparison to parts, or problems in processing peripheral visual information in comparison to central, and no deficits in processing low spatial frequencies in comparison to high. Additionally in regard to incongruent information, SRD children did not show any significant differences from normal readers. However, the SRD children were significantly slower in the processing of any type of visual information in comparison to the Chronological age-matched children. In conclusion, the results show that a low-level transient deficit did not lead to difficulties for SRD children in processing global information, stimuli at peripheral locations, and large and inconsistent stimuli. The findings do not support the transient deficit hypothesis in the sense that the transient sub-system is suggested to be associated with global level processing, low spatial frequencies, peripheral vision and incongruent information. However, the results of this study confirmed the transient deficit hypothesis in a sense that the transient sub-system is suggested to be associated with high temporal frequency. In this study, the slower pattern of RT for the SRD group could be related a deficit in visual processing of SRD individuals, or the difference in average IQ between the SRD group and the Chronological age-matched group.

This chapter looks into social security, which primarily covers pensions, provision for disability, meeting housing costs, and low-income earners. Social security provides benefits for people in poverty and who need support for activities like childcare and social care. Some of the main types of social security benefits are insurance, means-tested, non-means-tested, universal, and discretionary. The chapter expounds on the concept of social security spending and government spending. The social security system is bound by complex rules as it simultaneously makes the practice virtue and a vice.

This chapter describes the interwar expansion of social welfare policies and their role in alleviating economic insecurity in an era of unprecedented unemployment. The social security system established before the war and extended in the 1920s consisted of several independently administered programs—unemployment insurance, sickness and disability insurance, old age pensions, widows' and orphans' insurance, and the Poor Law. This safety net of many colors proved to be quite successful in alleviating poverty and maintaining the well-being of working-class households. The important role played by the safety net is clearly shown in the social surveys undertaken in the 1930s—between one-third and one-half of all working-class families surveyed received social income of some form. While the condition of the working class would have been considerably worse without the safety net, it contained many holes, which led to calls for a restructuring of social policy.

Abstract The previous chapters demonstrated who the welfare state was designed for and how it was administered on the ground. However, certain groups were excluded from these plans, whether by ignorance or design. This chapter traces how the sick note was discussed in policy documentation in relation to marginalized populations. In doing so, it shows that the needs of the very poorest, people born outside the United Kingdom, and women were not always served well by the sick note system. Medical certification remained an important gatekeeping device, but often eligibility to state benefits was dictated by other qualifying criteria. This chapter therefore considers three areas up to circa 1980. The first is National Assistance—the social security system for those without National Insurance contributions. This was such an afterthought that when government sick notes were reviewed in 1949, nobody remembered to ask the National Assistance Board for their views. Second, the chapter analyses how immigrants were treated within sickness systems and how various prejudices and bureaucratic procedures contributed to systemic discrimination. Finally, the social security system considered married women a separate bureaucratic category, demonstrating how sickness and disability benefits were routinely denied to certain classes of woman. In particular, the curious ‘Housewife’s Non-contributory Invalidity Pension’ explains both the privileged position of working-age British-born men in the welfare state as well as the tensions created by greater demands from the British citizenry for equal treatment under the law.

A variety of proposals have urged amending the disability benefits programs by adding stronger or mandatory work incentives and time limits and a “work first” model, like those at the core of PRWORA’s “welfare reform” initiatives.xiii Similar to PRWORA’s treatment of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, this would presumably entail active supervision of claimants by agency and professional-rehabilitation personnel, with the goal of maximizing return to the workforce and reducing the amount of benefits received. Apart from highly questionable assertion of TANF’s success—(through time limits, mandatory work requirements and work sanctions)-- in producing sustained employment, moving families out of deep poverty, and generally improving the quality of life of TANF-eligible caretakers and their families,xiv some commentators and public policy bodies have viewed the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990xv as reflecting a recognition of a shift in disability social policy away from income supports to a paramount focus on entering or returning to the workforce by surmounting obstacles to work.xvi

Full textAbstract:
The 1960s-era congressional bills that sought to add an occupational disability standard to the disability insurance program would have significantly expanded eligibility while simplifying the adjudicative process by eliminating the work-adjustment assessment and all vocational and labor market considerations other than those pertaining to one’s own principal occupation(s).ix Under the 1960s-era proposals, claimants who demonstrated an inability to perform past relevant work would be deemed disabled.x At present, this proposal would confront a series of functional, conceptual, and political obstacles. First, it is likely inconsistent with the American ethos on job mobility assumptions outside of one’s social or economic class.xi With an occupational disability standard, persons unable to perform their past highly skilled, highly remunerative work would be excused from the social obligation of making adjustments to a wider range of less demanding, less esteemed, and less remunerative work than those whose past work was unskilled and more generic.xii
