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 of 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 2014 and 2015, for a total maximum of 9 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.
Please see the narrative in the Program Integrity Administrative Expenses account for a description of the program integrity
funding proposal reflected here.

Public Law 111–5 provided funding to process disability and retirement work, to replace the National Computer Center, and
to administer $250 economic recovery payments to eligible Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries.
The funds for administering the $250 economic recovery payments were obligated by the end of the first quarter of 2011, as
payments ended on December 31, 2010. All obligations since 2012 are for the replacement of the National Computer Center. SSA
received a Presidential Waiver on December 28, 2012, allowing the agency to retain and continue to obligate funds appropriated
for expenses of the replacement of the National Computer Center.

Federal Old-age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund
(Legislative proposal, not subject to PAYGO)
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 calls for providing SSA and partner agencies with authority to test innovative techniques to help people with disabilities
remain in the workforce. In addition to providing new authority to test early interventions, the Budget also proposes reauthorization
of SSA's demonstration authority for the Disability Insurance (DI) program, allowing SSA to continue to test effective ways
to boost employment and support current DI and SSI beneficiaries who are seeking to return to work.
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
confirm the treatment of stepchild benefits to those of the parent's benefits.
The Budget also includes a proposal to reduce an individual's entitlement to a disability insurance benefit in any month in
which the individual also receives a state or federal unemployment compensation benefit.
Please see the narrative in the Program Integrity Administrative Expenses account for a description of the program integrity
funding proposal reflected here.
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 [$10,565,000,000]$10,622,846,000 may be expended, as authorized by section 201(g)(1) of the Social Security Act, and including the cost of carrying out the Social Security Administration's obligations as required under section 1411 of
Public Law 111–148, from any one or all of the trust funds referred to in such section: Provided, That not less than [$2,150,000]$2,300,000 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 [2013]2014 not needed for fiscal year [2013]2014 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, [$1,024,000,000]$273,000,000 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, [$170,000,000]$173,000,000 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 [2013]2014 exceed [$170,000,000]$173,000,000, the amounts shall be available in fiscal year [2014]2015 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. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts
included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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 50 employees. In 2012, the majority of employers this size reported electronically.
4. Finally, the Budget includes a multi-Agency proposal to improve SSA's Prisoner Update Processing System to identify, prevent
and recover improper payments. SSA's PUPS data would be shared with Treasury for Government-wide access. Please see the narrative
in the Department of Labor's Unemployment Trust Fund account for additional detail on this proposal.

The Budget includes a proposal to repeal the discretionary cap adjustments enacted in the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act, as amended by the Budget Control Act of 2011, beginning in 2014 for SSA and instead provide a dedicated, dependable
source of mandatory funding for the Social Security Administration to conduct Continuing Disability Reviews (CDRs) and Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) program Redeterminations. CDRs and Redeterminations help to ensure that only those beneficiaries who
remain eligible for SSI or Disability Insurance benefits continue to receive them. To date, the annual appropriations process
has failed to provide SSA with the resources necessary to conduct scheduled CDRs and Redeterminations, leading to a current
CDR backlog of 1.3 million. SSA estimates that every additional $1 spent on CDRs would save the Federal Government $9, and
every $1 spent on Redeterminations would save the Federal Government $5.
The proposal includes the creation of a new limitation account entitled Program Integrity Administrative Expenses, which will
reflect mandatory funding for SSA's program integrity activities in addition to amounts provided to SSA through the Limitation
on Administrative Expenses account. See additional discussion in the Budget Process Chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.
