This schedule reflects the effects of the Administration's proposal
to impose a user fee on representatives of Social Security or
Supplemental Security Income claimants. This monetary assessment would
be imposed only if the claimant being represented is awarded past due
benefits and a fee for representation is approved by the Agency. An
assessment would not be imposed if the representative does not charge a
fee for services. Language will be provided to the appropriations and
authorizing committees. This schedule also reflects the program effects
of the Administration's proposal to authorize an adjustment to the 1999
discretionary spending limits for amounts appropriated to conduct
additional redeterminations of non-disability factors of eligibility
under the Supplemental Security Income program.

This schedule reflects the effects of the Administration's proposal
to impose a user fee on representatives of Social Security or
Supplemental Security Income claimants. This monetary assessment would
be imposed only if the claimant being represented is awarded past due
benefits and a fee for representation is approved by the Agency. An
assessment would not be imposed if the representative does not charge a
fee for services. Language will be provided to the appropriations and
authorizing committees.
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.
Limitation on Administrative Expenses
For necessary expenses, including the hire of two passenger motor
vehicles, and not to exceed $10,000 for official reception and
representation expenses, not more than [$5,894,040,000] $5,949,000,000
may be expended, as authorized by section 201(g)(1) of the Social
Security Act, from any one or all of the trust funds referred to
therein: Provided, That not less than $1,600,000 shall be for the Social
Security Advisory Board: Provided further, That unobligated balances at
the end of fiscal year [1998] 1999 not needed for fiscal year [1998]
1999 shall remain available until expended [for a state-of-the-art
computing network] to invest in the Social Security Administration
computing network, including related equipment and non-payroll
administrative expenses associated solely with this network[: Provided
further, That reimbursement to the trust funds under this heading for
expenditures for official time for employees of the Social Security
Administration pursuant to section 7131 of title 5, United States Code,
and for facilities or support services for labor organizations pursuant
to policies, regulations, or procedures referred to in section 7135(b)
of such title shall be made by the Secretary of the Treasury, with
interest, from amounts in the general fund not otherwise appropriated,
as soon as possible after such expenditures are made].
[From funds provided under the previous paragraph, notwithstanding
the provision under this heading in Public Law 104-208 regarding
unobligated balances at the end of fiscal year 1997 not needed for such
