The first, awarded in 1998, led to the development of Modeling Income in the Near Term (MINT), a tool for simulating the retirement incomes of members of the Baby Boom and neighboring cohorts. The second, awarded in 2000, was to expand and improve on the first version of MINT. In all phases of the project, members of the research staff at SSA/DPE collaborated closely with the contractors. The Brookings Institution served as a subcontractor to the Urban Institute under both contracts and the RAND Corporation participated in the development of the initial version of MINT under a separate contract. This report describes the work of the researchers at Urban and Brookings under the second contract.}, keywords = {Disabilities, Net Worth and Assets, Pensions, Social Security}, url = {http://www.urban.org/UploadedPDF/410609_ModelingIncome.pdf}, author = {Toder, Eric and Thompson, Lawrence H. and Melissa Favreault and Richard W.
