Flexible parametric survival analysis propensity score matching used model time-varying relationships between (20 weeks or more), benefit recipiency, all-cause mortality. Mortality was consistently unemployed individuals who reported relative matched nonrecipients. For example, at 2 years follow-up 18% (95% confidence interval (CI): 9%, 26%) men 30% CI: 18%, 40%) women benefits. After 10 follow-up, recipiency 890 560, 1,230) fewer deaths per 100,000 1,070 810, 1,320) women. Our findings indicate that Expanding access may improve population reduce inequalities
