The Limitation on Administrative Expenses account provides resources
for the SSA to administer the OASI programs; the SSI program; the
Special Benefits for Certain World War II Veterans program; and certain
health insurance (including prescription drug) functions for the aged
and disabled.
The request for additional funding for continuing disability reviews
builds on SSA's success in reducing program costs by ensuring that only
individuals still too disabled to work continue to receive benefits.
Continuing disability reviews are a proven investment, yielding $10 in
program savings for every $1 spent. The additional funding requested
also provides resources to increase the number of redeterminations of
eligibility processed under title XVI of the Social Security Act.
Redeterminations are also a proven investment, yielding $7 in program
savings for every $1 spent, by ensuring that SSI recipients are
receiving the correct benefit amount based on non-medical factors of
eligibility.
It is important that these cost increases and new enforcement
investments be fully funded. The Administration is proposing to fund
them as contingent appropriations. To ensure full funding of continuing
disability reviews and redeterminations, the Administration proposes to
employ a budget enforcement mechanism that allows for an adjustment by
the Budget Committees to the section 302(a) allocation to the
Appropriations Committees found in the concurrent resolution on the
budget. In addition, the Administration will also seek to establish
statutory spending limits, as defined by section 251 of the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, and to adjust them for
this purpose. To ensure full funding of the cost increases, either of
these adjustments
[[Page 1030]]
would only be permissible if the base level for continuing disability
reviews and redeterminations was funded at $263.97 million and if the
use of the funds was clearly restricted to the specified purpose. The
maximum allowable adjustment to the 302(a) allocation and/or the
statutory spending limit would be $213 million for 2008 (see the Budget
Reform Proposals chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume).

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 SSA, which shall be
submitted by the President to the Congress without revision, together
with the President's request for SSA.
The Commissioner developed a multi-year Service Delivery Budget
through 2012 to provide a context for making decisions on needed
improvements in service delivery and fiscal stewardship, and the
requisite staffing to accomplish both. The Commissioner's multi-year
budget includes $10,543 million for total administrative discretionary
resources in 2008. This represents $10,440 million for SSA
administrative expenses and $103 million for the Office of the Inspector
General.
