            and the amount of Extra Help (also known as low-income subsidy) from the application process to the Medicaid State agency
            to initiate an application for the Medicare Savings Program.  As of 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 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 proposes allowing SSA to conduct data matches with private commercial databases that maintain data on ownership
            of real property (i.e., land and buildings), which can be a countable resource for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) purposes.
            New beneficiaries would be required to consent to allow SSA to access these databases as a condition of benefit receipt. All
            other current due process and appeal rights would be preserved. 
         
         The Budget proposes the usage of all collection tools to recover funds in certain scenarios, such as when someone improperly
            cashes a beneficiary's check.
         
         The Budget proposes to hold fraud facilitators liable for overpayments by allowing SSA to recover the overpayment from a third
            party if the third party was responsible for making fraudulent statements or providing false evidence that allowed the beneficiary
            to receive payments that should not have been paid.
         
         The Budget proposes allowing the use of Customs and Border Patrol Entry/Exit data to prevent improper payments. 
         The Budget proposes using the Death Master File to prevent improper payments to deceased individuals by providing the full
            list to the Do Not Pay system at the Department of Treasury. 
         
         The Budget proposes reinstating reconsideration in 10 prototype states. This reform requires a second review by the state
            Disability Determination Services before an appeal goes to the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Most other states already require
            disability applicants to have their claim reconsidered before they can appeal to an ALJ. 
         
         The Budget proposes to create a sliding scale for SSI disability benefits that considers the number of additional family recipients.
            It would keep the maximum benefit for one recipient the same as in current law but reduce benefits for additional recipients
            in the same family. 
         
          The Budget proposes to create a probationary period for ALJs. This option would create a one-year probationary period, similar
            to the Senior Executive Service, to ensure an ALJ is performing at a satisfactory level. Following the one-year probation,
            the ALJ would convert to a lifetime appointment. 
         
         The Budget includes Child Support Enforcement proposals that increase collections and expand distribution, which in turn reduce
            low-income families' reliance on SSI and result in savings to the program.

            and the Senate at least 15 days in advance of any transfer.

            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 reduce an individual's entitlement to a Disability Insurance (DI) benefit in any month in
            which the individual also receives an unemployment compensation benefit. 
         
         The Budget proposes using the Death Master File to prevent improper payments to deceased individuals by providing the full
            list to the Do Not Pay system at the Department of Treasury. 
         
         The Budget proposes the usage of all collection tools to recover funds in certain scenarios, such as when someone improperly
            cashes a beneficiary's check. 
         
         The Budget proposes to hold fraud facilitators liable for overpayments by allowing SSA to recover the overpayment from a third
            party if the third party was responsible for making fraudulent statements or providing false evidence that allowed the beneficiary
            to receive payments that should not have been paid. 
         
         The Budget proposes increasing the minimum monthly overpayment collection from $10 a month to 10% of the overpayment amount.
            
         
         The Budget provides for the exclusion of SSA debts from discharge in bankruptcy proceedings. 
         The Budget proposes to eliminate reverse offsets in fifteen states where Workers' Compensation benefits are offset instead
            of DI benefits. 
         
         The Budget proposes reinstating reconsideration in 10 prototype states. This reform requires a second review by the state
            Disability Determination Services before an appeal goes to the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). Most other states already require
            disability applicants to have their claim reconsidered before they can appeal to an ALJ. 
         
         The Budget proposes to reduce the maximum period of retroactive benefits from 12 months to 6 months for new beneficiaries.
            
         
         The Budget proposes to create a probationary period for ALJs. This option would create a one-year probationary period, similar
            to the Senior Executive Service, to ensure an ALJ is performing at a satisfactory level. Following the one-year probation,
            the ALJ would convert to a lifetime appointment. 
         
      
         Limitation on administrative expensesFor 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 $10,603,000,000 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 111â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, of which not more than $5,000 may be expended for official reception and representation expenses: Provided further, That unobligated balances of funds provided under this paragraph  at the end of fiscal year 2018 not needed for fiscal year 2018 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, including work-related continuing disability reviews to determine whether earnings derived from services demonstrate an
               individual's ability to engage in substantial gainful activity, for the cost associated with conducting redeterminations of eligibility under title XVI of the Social Security Act, for the cost of co-operative disability investigation units, and for the cost associated with the prosecution of fraud in
               the programs and operations of the Social Security Administration by Special Assistant United States Attorneys, $1,735,000,000 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 $1,462,000,000 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 104â121 for fiscal
            years 1996 through 2002.
      In addition, $118,000,000 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 93â66, which shall remain available until expended. To the extent
            that the amounts collected pursuant to such sections in fiscal year 2018 exceed $118,000,000, the amounts shall be available in fiscal year 2019 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.âA full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
         budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114â254). The amounts
         included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

         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. Public Law 114â10
            prohibits displaying, coding, or embedding Social Security numbers on a beneficiary's Medicare card. In order to fund implementation
            costs to comply with this provision, SSA will receive $98 million funded incrementally from FY 2015 to FY 2018.
         
         The request in 2018 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 and/or the SSI program. SSA estimates that CDRs conducted in 2018
            will yield a return on investment (ROI) of about $8 on average in net Federal program savings over 10 years per $1 budgeted
            for dedicated program integrity funding, including OASDI, SSI, Medicare and Medicaid program effects. Similarly, SSA estimates
            indicate that non-medical redeterminations conducted in 2018 will yield a ROI of about $3 on average of net Federal program
            savings over 10 years per $1 budgeted for dedicated program integrity funding, including SSI and Medicaid program effects.
         
         The Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act (BBEDCA) of 1985, as amended, authorizes adjustments to the discretionary
            spending limits for 2018 through 2021 for administrative program integrity activities at the Social Security Administration.
            For the Social Security Administration, the Budget includes the authorized $1,462 million cap adjustment for 2018. 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. The cap adjustment may also fund cooperative disability investigation units, and special attorneys
            for fraud prosecutions. SSA will conduct 890,000 full medical CDRs and approximately 2.8 million SSI redeterminations of eligibility
            in 2018. With access to program integrity cap adjustments, SSA is on track to eliminate the backlog of CDRs by the end of
            2018 and remain current with program integrity workloads throughout the budget window. See additional discussion in the Budget
            Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.

         (Legislative proposal, not subject to PAYGO)
         The Budget includes a proposal to reduce an individual's entitlement to a Disability Insurance (DI) benefit in any month in
            which the individual also receives an unemployment compensation benefit. 
         
         The Budget proposes allowing SSA to conduct data matches with private commercial databases that maintain data on ownership
            of real property (i.e., land and buildings), which can be a countable resource for Supplemental Security Income purposes.
            New beneficiaries would be required to consent to allow SSA to access these databases as a condition of benefit receipt. All
            other current due process and appeal rights would be preserved. 
         
         The Budget proposes allowing the use of Customs and Border Patrol Entry/Exit data to prevent improper payments. 
         The Budget proposes using the Death Master File to prevent improper payments to deceased individuals by providing the full
            list to the Do Not Pay system at the Department of Treasury. 
         
         The Budget proposes the usage of all collection tools to recover funds in certain scenarios, such as when someone improperly
            cashes a beneficiary's check. 
         
         The Budget proposes to hold fraud facilitators liable for overpayments by allowing SSA to recover the overpayment from a third
            party if the third party was responsible for making fraudulent statements or providing false evidence that allowed the beneficiary
            to receive payments that should not have been paid. 
         
         The Budget proposes increasing the minimum monthly overpayment collection from $10 a month to 10% of the overpayment amount.
            
         
         The Budget provides for the exclusion of SSA debts from discharge in bankruptcy proceedings. 
         The Budget proposes to eliminate reverse offsets in fifteen states where Workers' Compensation benefits are offset instead
            of DI benefits.
