    This schedule reflects the effects of the Administration's proposal 
to increase the current $5.00 fee for the administration of state 
supplemental payments to $6.12 in FY 1998 and to $7.25 in FY 1999. The 
fee would be indexed to the CPI thereafter. The additional revenue would 
be used for SSA's administrative expenses, subject to appropriation.

    This is one of several proposals in the budget to charge fees to 
users directly availing themselves of, or subject to, a government 
service, program, or activity, in order to cover the government's costs. 
Legislation will be proposed to authorize the fees and, upon enactment 
of the authorization, a budget amendment to the current appropriations 
language will be proposed to make the fees available for expenditure. 
Because the current requirements of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 
make it difficult to fund discretionary programs with receipts that are 
not authorized in appropriations acts, the Administration is proposing a 
change in the requirements to facilitate the enactment of proposals such 
as this one.

    This schedule reflects the effects of the Administration's proposal 
to revise the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunities 
Reconciliation Act so that legal immigrants who become disabled after 
entering the United States can be eligible for Supplemental Security 
Income (SSI). The Administration also proposes to lengthen the period of 
eligibility for SSI for refugees and asylees from 5 to 7 years.

    This schedule also reflects the effects of the Administration's 
proposal to test allowing Supplemental Security Income and Social 
Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries to choose their own public 
or private vocational rehabilitation providers. Participating providers 
would be paid a percentage of disability benefits saved, as a result of 
beneficiaries returning to work, for a specified period of time.

    The Limitation on Administrative Expenses Account provides resources 
for the Social Security Administration (SSA) to administer the Old Age, 
Survivors, and Disability Insurance programs, the Supplemental Security 
Income program, and certain health insurance functions for the aged, 
disabled, and economically disadvantaged.

    The estimate of administrative expenses borne by each of the 
financing sources, including the Hospital Insurance (HI) and 
Supplemental Medical Insurance (SMI) trust funds for Medicare-related 
activities performed by the Social Security Administration (SSA), has 
been made by SSA based on the current cost allocation methodology. 
Pursuant to section 201(g) of the Social Security Act, a final 
accounting of actual payments is made after the close of each fiscal 
year. In the Conference Committee Report for Public Law 103-296, The 
Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994, the 
conferees requested that the Secretary of Health and Human Services and 
the Commissioner of Social Security make a joint examination of the most 
appropriate cost allocation methodology and report their joint findings 
to the Congress within 36 months of enactment (August 15, 1997). The 
Secretary and the Commissioner are in the process of designing and 
carrying out this study and preparing the required report to the 
Congress.
