Amounts Available for Appropriation (in thousands of dollars)

Under the Federal old-age and survivors insurance system, workers, employers, and self-employed individuals make annual contributions in the form of taxes on earnings toward the benefits which will be payable when the worker retires or when he dies. An amount equal to the annual contributions is deposited in this trust fund for benefit payments and administrative expenses. Any excess of income over outgo together with annual interest is invested in Government securities (42 U.S.C. 401).

Payments are made between this trust fund and the Railroad retirement account so as to place this fund in the same position in which it would have been if railroad employment after 1936 had been included in social security coverage (45 U.S.C. 228E).

Under proposed legislation, 1966.-Improvements in the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance program will provide a 7% benefit increase to beneficiaries, effective as of January 1, 1965, and extend coverage to certain groups and types of earnings not previously under the system. These improvements, along with the hospital insurance program, will be financed by an increase in the covered wage base from $4,800 to $5,600 and in the combined tax rate from the scheduled 8.25% to 8.50%, effective January 1, 1966. Notwithstanding the receipts from the proposed reimbursement for military service credits, there is a slight decline in receipts due to a lower portion of the total tax being allocated to the OASI trust fund.

1. Benefit payments.-The Social Security Act provides disability insurance benefits for certain disabled individuals and their dependents. Under current law an amount equal to one-half of 1% of wages paid and three-eighths of 1% of self-employment income is allocated to this fund for benefit payments and administrative expenses. The excess of income over outgo and annual interest are invested in Government securities.

2. Administration.-The Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare determines, at the end of each year that portion of the administrative expenses of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare which is a proper charge to this fund. The amount shown herein for the administrative expenses includes interest on the unpaid charges and is subject to further refinement of the proc esses for allocating costs between the Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund and the Federal disability insurance trust fund (42 U.S.C. 401).

Annual payments are made between this account and the railroad retirement account so as to place these funds in the same position in which they would have been if railroad employment had been included under social security coverage (45 U.S.C. 228E).
