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.

The number of disability beneficiaries in payment status and the amount of benefit payments will continue to rise with the increase in the disability claims load.

7. 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.

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

The International Social Security Association is an international organization composed of agencies administering social security programs whose objectives are "to coordinate internationally and to strengthen efforts toward the extension, the protection and the technical and administrative improvement of social security throughout the world." Association membership consists of over 250 institutions covering over 500 million persons in 88 countries.

Every 3 years a general assembly is conducted by the Association. The XVth general assembly was held in Washington from September 26 to October 3, 1964, with the United States acting as host. An appropriation in the amount of $91,500 for expenses necessary for organizing and holding the meeting was made for 1964 and is to remain available until June 30, 1965.

Under proposed legislation, 1966.-A revision in legislation will be proposed to establish a basis for reimbursing the trust funds for the costs of military service benefits paid to date as well as those estimated to be paid in future years. An estimate of $60 million has been included in the budget for this purpose. Hereafter annual appropriations will be made over a 50-year period and will be periodically recalculated to reflect actual costs incurred.

SOCIAL SECURITY AMENDMENTS OF 1966

Under proposed legislation, 1966.-Legislation is to be proposed to provide certain improvements in the Social Security program and to establish a social insurance program of hospital and related services under the Social Security system. Schedules reflecting this proposal are contained in the trust fund section, part II.
