This article evaluates the insurance value of the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program among married households when wives face a trade‐off between market hours and spousal care following their husbands' disability. Event study analyses show that wives' labor supply responses to their husbands' disability are small, and instead, a considerable amount of time is spent in spousal care. Using a dynamic structural model, I find that incorporating time loss due to spousal care increases the insurance value of SSDI relative to its costs. Finally, budget‐neutral policy reforms that subsidize the cost of care can improve social welfare.

This study investigates the responsiveness of Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Public Assistance (PA) programs during the COVID-19 employment shock in Japan. Estimating "excess" UI and PA caseloads under the COVID-19 crisis, we reveal heterogeneous responses to the COVID-19 shock: UI caseloads exhibit an instantaneous and discontinuous increase and subsequent decrease, while PA caseloads show a kinked and incremental increase. These contrasting safety net responses highlight a potential delay in safety net support for workers who are not eligible for UI benefits when a large employment shock occurs.
