SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION LIMITATION ON SALARIES AND EXPENSES, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (Trust fund) For necessary expenses, not more than [$326,410,000] $358,092,000 may be expended as authorized by law (42 U.S.C. 401 (g) (1)) from either or both the Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund and the Federal disability insurance trust fund: Provided, That such amounts as are required shall be available to pay the cost of necessary travel incident to medical examinations or hearings for verifying disabilities or for review of disability determinations, of individuals who file applications for disability determinations under title II of the the Social Security Act, as amended: Provided further, That $10,000,000 of the foregoing amount shall be apportioned for use pursuant to section 3679 of the Revised Statutes as amended (31 U.S.C. 665), only to the extent necessary to process workloads not anticipated in the budget estimates and after maximum absorption of the costs of such workload within the existing limitation has been achieved: Provided further, That the amount otherwise required to be poid from the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund into the Treasury as reimbursement for expenditures from the general fund (42 U.S.C. 401(g)(1)) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1966, shall be reduced by $8,053,000 to cover the cost of issuance by the Social Security Administration of account numbers for income tax control purposes. Advances to States, next succeeding fiscal year: For making, after May 31 of the current fiscal year, advances to States under section 221(e) of the Social Security Act, as amended, for the first quarter of the next succeeding fiscal year, such sums as may be necessary from the above authorization may be expended from the Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund. (42 U.S.C. 401-425; Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Act, 1965.) Program and Financing (in thousands of dollars) The old-age, survivors and disability insurance program protects over 90 percent of the workers in the United States and their families against the loss of earnings due to old-age, disability or death. People covered under this program contribute a small portion of their earnings during their work years to pay for this protection. Employers match the contributions made by their employees. These contributions are deposited in the Federal old-age SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION-Continued LIMITATION ON SALARIES AND EXPENSES, SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION-Continued (Trust fund)-Continued and survivors insurance trust fund and the Federal disability insurance trust fund, from which benefit payments and administrative costs are paid. Major amendments to the Social Security Act have been enacted during the last 15 years. These amendments have increased the protection provided by the retirement and survivors insurance phase of the program, and have added a disability program which provides for monthly insurance benefits for disabled workers of any age and their dependents. 1. Maintenance of earnings accounts.-Eligibility for insurance benefits and the amount of benefit payments are based on records of an individual's earnings maintained by the Social Security Administration and the volume of work is related to certain factors such as level of employment and rate of turnover. Continuing increases in covered employment in 1965 and 1966, as the total labor force grows and unemployment declines, will result in a greater number of postings to workers' accounts. 4. Processing disability claims and maintaining beneficiary rolls. Claims for disability insurance benefits are filed in the Administration's district offices. Most of these cases are sent to State agencies where determinations of the existence of a disability are made. These determinations are reviewed in the central office of the Social Security Administration to assure uniformity among States. Enactment of legislation (Public Law 88-650) during the second session of the 88th Congress removed the 18-month limitation on retroactively establishing a period of disability which will increase the proportion of claims applications requiring a disability determination. Also, a total of 51,000 applications from disabled workers who previously filed for benefits but who could not qualify because of the existence of this limitation, will be processed in 1965. The applications from Requests for hearings: Received.. Processed.... 5. Hearings and appeals.-Individuals whose claims are disallowed have a right to appeal to the Bureau of Hearings and Appeals. The increased number of hearings requests anticipated in 1965 and 1966 are related principally to the projected increase in disability claims, to an expected higher proportion of initial claims moving to the appeals stage, and to the effect of legislation removing the limitation on establishing a period of disability.

Internal Revenue Service enumeration project. This project covers work done by the Social Security Administration for the Internal Revenue Service in issuing account numbers for taxpayer identification purposes. The work performed in 1963 and 1964 was financed initially from the Federal old-age and survivors insurance trust fund with reimbursement to be made after the completion of the project in 1964. 8. Contingency reserve. This reserve ($10 million) represents funds to be made available only to the extent budget estimates. An estimated $8.7 million will be used necessary to process workloads not anticipated in the from the contingency in 1965 principally because of the unbudgeted work loads related to disability legislation enacted in the second session of the 88th Congress.
