Please see the narrative in the Limitation on Administrative Expenses account for a description of the Federal Wage Reporting,
workers' compensation, and WEP/GPO proposals reflected here.
The President's Budget includes a proposal to extend the temporary 2.0-percentage point reduction in the employee Social Security
payroll tax rate to apply to the first $110,100 of taxable wages. A similar reduction would apply to the employee portion
of Tier 1 Railroad Retirement payroll taxes. For self-employed individuals, the Social Security payroll tax rate would be
reduced from 12.4 percent to 10.4 percent of the first $110,100 of net taxable self-employment income received. The Social
Security Trust Fund would be held harmless and receive transfers from the General Fund of the Treasury equal to any reduction
in payroll taxes attributable to these reductions in payroll tax rates.

Public Law 110–275 requires SSA to provide Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy applicants with material about Medicare Savings
Programs assistance, including information about how to contact the State health insurance assistance program. In addition,
SSA transmits Low-Income Subsidy application data to the States. As of FY 2011, new funding for this program comes from a
reimbursable agreement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and this funding is reflected within the Limitation
on Administrative Expenses account.

Title XVI of the Social Security Act established a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program to provide monthly cash benefits
as a federally guaranteed minimum income for low-income individuals who are either aged, blind, or disabled. A portion of
these funds may be used to fund evaluation and incentive payments for the Promoting Readiness of Minors in SSI (PROMISE) pilot,
which would improve the outcomes of children receiving SSI and their families.

The Budget includes a proposal to allow refugees and asylees to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits an additional
two years, in 2013 and 2014, for a total maximum of nine years of eligibility. The time-limited SSI eligibility period was
temporarily extended to 9 years for FY 2009–2011. However, effective October 2011, the SSI eligibility period for refugees
and other humanitarian immigrants reverted to 7 years. For many participants, extended SSI eligibility will result in extended
Medicaid eligibility and reduced SNAP benefit receipt.
The Budget also includes a proposal to conform the treatment of state and local government Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC)
and Child Tax Credits (CTC) to be consistent with the treatment of the federal EITC and CTC for purposes of determining eligibility
for SSI. Currently, the federal EITC and CTC credits are excluded from the SSI income and resource tests. However, state
and local versions of these credits are not excluded, resulting in the reduction or loss of SSI benefits for those receiving
the credits.

Public Law 106–169 established a benefit program for certain individuals who are at least 65 years old; were in the United
States military forces, including veterans of the Filipino Army and Filipino Scouts, during World War II; and who were eligible
for SSI for the month of December 1999. To receive this benefit, these individuals must reside outside the United States and

Federal Old-age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund
(Legislative proposal, not subject to PAYGO)
The President's Budget includes a proposal to extend the temporary 2.0-percentage point reduction in the employee payroll
tax rate to apply to the first $110,100 of taxable wages. A similar reduction would apply to the employee portion of the
Tier 1 Railroad Retirement payroll taxes. For self-employed individuals, the Social Security payroll tax rate would be reduced
from 12.4 percent to 10.4 percent of the first $110,100 of net taxable self-employment income received. The Social Security
Trust Fund would be held harmless, and receive transfers from the General Fund of the Treasury equal to any reduction in payroll
taxes attributable to these reductions in payroll tax rates.
The Budget includes a proposal to terminate benefits for a stepchild in the same month as benefits are terminated for a parent
upon the divorce of the parent. This change would correct a drafting error in the original legislation in order to conform
the treatment of stepchild benefits to those of the parent's benefits.

The Budget includes a legislative proposal to re-authorize Section 234 disability demonstration authority for five years.
The authority would fund various projects, including the pilot of the Work Incentives Simplification Proposal, which would
eliminate work activity as a basis for determining disability cessation. We intend to work with Congress on a fully offset
package.
The Budget also includes a proposal to terminate benefits for a stepchild in the same month as benefits are terminated for
a parent upon the divorce of the parent. This change would correct a drafting error in the original legislation in order to
conform the treatment of stepchild benefits to those of the parent's benefits.
Limitation on Administrative Expenses
For necessary expenses, including the hire of two passenger motor vehicles, and not to exceed $20,000 for official reception and representation expenses, not more than [$10,555,494,000] $10,565,000,000 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 in such section: Provided, That not less than $2,150,000 shall be for the Social Security Advisory Board: Provided further, That unobligated balances of funds provided under this paragraph at the end of fiscal year [2012] 2013 not needed for fiscal year [2012] 2013 shall remain available until expended to invest in the Social Security Administration information technology and telecommunications
hardware and software infrastructure, including related equipment and non-payroll administrative expenses associated solely
with this information technology and telecommunications infrastructure: Provided further, That the Commissioner of Social Security shall notify the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and
the Senate prior to making unobligated balances available under the authority in the previous proviso: 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 5 U.S.C. 7131, 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.
In addition, for the cost associated with continuing disability reviews under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act and for the cost associated with conducting
redeterminations of eligibility under title XVI of the Social Security Act, [$274,000,000] $1,024,000,000 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, of such amount, $273,000,000 is provided to meet the terms of section 251(b)(2)(B)(ii)(III) of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended, and $751,000,000 is additional new budget authority specified for purposes
of section 251(b)(2)(B) of such Act: Provided further, That the Commissioner shall provide to the Congress (at the conclusion of the fiscal year) a report on the obligation and
expenditure of these funds, similar to the reports that were required by section 103(d)(2) of Public Law 104–121 for fiscal
years 1996 through 2002.
In addition, [$161,000,000] $170,000,000 to be derived from administration fees in excess of $5.00 per supplementary payment collected pursuant to section 1616(d)
of the Social Security Act or section 212(b)(3) of Public Law 93–66, which shall remain available until expended. To the extent
that the amounts collected pursuant to such sections in fiscal year [2012] 2013 exceed [$161,000,000] $170,000,000, the amounts shall be available in fiscal year [2013] 2014 only to the extent provided in advance in appropriations Acts.
In addition, up to $1,000,000 to be derived from fees collected pursuant to section 303(c) of the Social Security Protection
Act, which shall remain available until expended. (Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)
[For an additional amount for continuing disability reviews under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act and for the
cost associated with conducting redeterminations of eligibility under title XVI of the Social Security Act, not more than
$483,484,000 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 such amount is additional new budget authority specified for purposes of subsection 251(b)(2)(B) of the Balanced Budget
and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, and shall be treated for such purposes as being included under this heading in
the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, or any continuing
appropriation Act, for fiscal year 2012.] (Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2012.)

The Limitation on Administrative Expenses account provides resources for Social Security to administer the Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance and Disability Insurance programs, the Supplemental Security Income program, the Special Benefits for Certain World
War II Veterans program, and certain health insurance functions for the aged and disabled.
The request for additional funding for program integrity activities builds on SSA's success in reducing program costs by ensuring
that only individuals still eligible for benefits continue to receive them. The agency uses Continuing Disability Reviews
(CDRs) to determine whether an individual continues to qualify for Disability Insurance or the Supplemental Security Income
program. For every $1 spent by SSA on a disability review, $9 is saved in erroneous payments. Redeterminations focus on an
individuals eligibility for the means-tested Supplemental Security Income program. For every $1 spent by SSA on a redetermination,
$6 is saved in erroneous payments.
The Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act (BBEDCA) of 1985, as amended by the Budget Control Act of 2011, enacted
adjustments to the discretionary spending limits in the Act for 2012 through 2021 for administrative program integrity activities
at both the Social Security Administration and at the Department of Health and Human Services. This Budget assumes that in
each year both the base level and the cap adjustments are funded at the maximum levels allowed by section 251(b)(2)(B) of
BBEDCA. For the Social Security Administration, BBEDCA authorized a $751 million cap adjustment for 2013. To ensure full funding
of the cost increases, this cap adjustment is permissible only if the base level for CDRs and Redeterminations is funded at
$273 million. With these funds, SSA can conduct at least 592,000 CDRs and at least 2.6 million Supplemental Security Income
redeterminations of eligibility in 2013. See additional discussion in the Budget Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.

The Budget includes four proposals that will strengthen the integrity and administration of several programs:
1. The Administration is including a request to restructure the Federal Wage Reporting process by moving from annual to quarterly
wage reporting. This proposal will enhance tax administration and improve program integrity for a range of programs.
2. In addition, the Budget includes proposals to develop mechanisms for timely and accurate collection of workers' compensation
and WEP/GPO data for use in payment calculations. These mechanisms will improve payment accuracy. See additional discussion
in the Budget Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.
3. The Budget also includes a proposal to amend the Internal Revenue Code to lower the employer electronic wage reporting
threshold from 250 to 100 employees. In 2011, the vast majority of employers this size reported electronically.
4. Finally, the Budget contains a proposal to allow SSA to certify Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) divorced spouse benefits
payments electronically. As a result, all RRB benefits would be certified electronically thus saving administrative dollars.
