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 aged, blind, or disabled. A portion of these funds may be used to fund evaluation of research projects, such as the Promoting Readiness of Minors in SSI (PROMISE) pilot, which would improve the outcomes of children receiving SSI and their families.

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 the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. Currently, the Federal EITC and CTC credits are excluded from 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.

The Budget will propose reauthorization of modified section 234 demonstration authority for Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) and conforming changes to SSI demonstration authority, in tandem with a detailed description of three potential early intervention pilots. SSA's demonstrations have shown interventions after the point of complete disability onset can yield positive outcomes for beneficiaries, but whether such interventions are the most cost-effective is a point of concern. As research indicates that health problems begin to materialize in advance of complete disability onset, practitioners are developing programs to help employers deal with health events of employees before they cause a separation from the workplace and an irreversible path toward cash benefit programs. Despite the suggestive benefits of early interventions, testing of these demonstrations has been scarce. Proposed legislation would provide $400 million in mandatory SSI funding to renew and enhance SSA's demonstration authority for the DI Program, which will allow us to conduct multiple early intervention projects in partnership with other Federal agencies.

The Budget will re-propose the development of a process to collect workers' compensation (WC) information in a timely manner from states and private insurers in order to correctly offset DI benefits and reduce SSI payments.

This Budget includes a proposal that would increase the SSI eligibility period for refugees, asylees, and other non-citizens in refugee-like immigration statuses (i.e., humanitarian immigrants) from a maximum of seven years to a maximum of nine years during fiscal years (FY) 2015 and 2016. Individuals whose benefits expired solely due to the seven-year time period would be eligible for up to 24 months of extended benefits paid prospectively until the conclusion of the nine-year period or the end of FY 2016, if earlier.

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 meet other requirements for eligibility.

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.

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 will re-propose harmonizing electronic certification of divorced spouse benefit payments with all other Social Security Equivalent Benefits payments to railroad workers and their dependents.

The Budget will also re-propose using the Death Master File to prevent improper payments to deceased individuals by providing the full list to the Do Not Pay system at Treasury.

The Budget also proposes to eliminate aggressive Social Security claiming strategies which allow upper-income beneficiaries to manipulate the timing of collection of Social Security benefits in order to maximize delayed retirement credits.

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 conform 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 DI benefit in any month in which the individual also receives a state or federal unemployment compensation benefit.

The Budget enhances collection of delinquent debts owed to the government by applying the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) to retroactive DI payments, and proposes to automate coordination of disability benefit payments between OPM and SSA, which would substantially reduce overpayments.

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 [$10,328,040,000] $10,503,000,000 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 $2,300,000 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 [2014] 2015 not needed for fiscal year [2014] 2015 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 costs 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, [$1,197,000,000] $1,396,000,000 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 [$924,000,000] $1,123,000,000 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, [$171,000,000] $124,000,000 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 [2014] 2015 exceed [$171,000,000] $124,000,000, the amounts shall be available in fiscal year [2015] 2016 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, 2014.)

The Limitation on Administrative Expenses account provides resources for Social Security to administer the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI) programs, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 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 in 2015 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 DI or the SSI program. Every $1 spent by SSA on a disability review saves the Federal Government $9. Redeterminations focus on an individual's eligibility for the means-tested SSI program. Every $1 spent by SSA on a redetermination saves the Federal Government $4.

The Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act (BBEDCA) of 1985, as amended but 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. For the Social Security Administration, BBEDCA authorizes a $1,123 million cap adjustment for 2015. To ensure full funding of the cost increases, this cap adjustment is permissible only if the base level for CDRs and SSI Redeterminations is funded at $273 million. With these funds, SSA can conduct approximately 888,000 CDRs and at least 2.6 million SSI Redeterminations of eligibility in 2015. See additional discussion in the Budget Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.

In 2016, the Budget proposes mandatory funding for SSA program integrity work. See the discussion in the Program Integrity Administrative Expenses (PIAE) account.

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 Windfall Elimination Provision/Government Pension Office (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 25 employees. In 2013, the majority of employers this size reported electronically.

4. Finally, the Budget proposes to automate coordination of disability benefit payments between OPM and SSA, reducing overpayments, and includes $6 million for SSA's system implementation costs.

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 2016 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. SSA estimates that every $1 spent on CDRs would save the Federal Government $9, and every $1 spent on Redeterminations would save the Federal Government $4. 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.
