As directed by Section 104 of P.L. 103-296, the Social Security
Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994, the Commissioner of
Social Security shall prepare an annual budget for the Social Security
Administration (SSA), which shall be submitted by the President to the
Congress without revision, together with the President's annual budget
for SSA.
The Commissioner's annual budget for fiscal year 1997 includes a
total of $6,267,944 thousand in discretionary resources. This total
includes $6,239,410 thousand for SSA administrative expenses, including
$300,000 thousand in no-year funds for the Automation Investment Fund.
SSA also requests $28,534 thousand for the newly formed Office of
Inspector General.
This request is based on current law. Actual needs will require
adjustment for the impact of any newly enacted legislation.
