Public Law 110–275 requires the Social Security Administration to transmit identity and financial data used to determine eligibility 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 re-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 re-proposes allowing the use of Customs and Border Patrol Entry/Exit data to prevent improper payments.

The Budget re-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 re-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 re-proposes providing for the exclusion of SSA debts from discharge in bankruptcy proceedings.

The Budget will re-propose reinstating reconsideration in 10 prototype states. This reform requires a second review by the state Disability Determination Services (DDS) 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 family maximum 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 equally reduce the maximum amount for all eligible children and parents in the same family for each additional recipient.

The Budget proposes to establish statutory authority for SSA to use the same debt collection tools (e.g. Federal Offset Program, Administrative Offset, etc.) available for recovery of delinquent overpayments towards recovery of delinquent Civil Monetary Penalties and assessments.

The Budget proposes to relieve SSA of the responsibility for representative fee approval, withholding, and payment functions to streamline and decrease SSA's operations and hearings workloads.

The Budget proposes to replace the complex calculation of in-kind support and maintenance with a flat rate reduction for adults living with other adults to capture economies of scale. The Budget also proposes to eliminate dedicated accounts for past due benefits and to eliminate the administratively burdensome consideration whether a couple is holding themselves out as married.

The Budget proposes SSI youth reforms to promote greater labor force participation by reducing administrative barriers and increasing the effectiveness of continuing disability reviews (CDRs). The Budget proposes to (a) institute age 6 and 12 initial disability reviews and (b) increase the frequency and effectiveness of CDRs by expanding the CDR diary system for all disability beneficiaries from three to four categories, allowing SSA to conduct CDRs more frequently for those medical impairments that are expected or likely to improve. The Budget also proposes to disregard all earned income and eliminate income reporting requirements through age 20, provide a higher disregard of earnings with a gradual phase-down for SSI recipients between ages 21 and 25, and eliminate school enrollment reporting requirements. Finally, the Budget would improve access to vocational rehabilitation services for SSI transition age youth by allowing SSA to make referrals to these services.

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.

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.

The Office of Inspector General conducts independent audits, evaluations, and investigations to identify and prevent fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement of Social Security Administration programs and operations. While the database and appropriations language reflect $27 million coming from the general fund and $78.5 million from the trust funds, the correct split is $30 million from the general fund and $75.5 million from the trust funds. The overall level of budget authority remains unchanged.

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 re-proposes 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 re-proposes allowing the use of Customs and Border Patrol Entry/Exit data to prevent improper payments.

The Budget also re-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 also re-proposes to reduce the maximum period of retroactive benefits from 12 months to 6 months for new beneficiaries.

The Budget includes a re-proposal to eliminate reverse offsets in fifteen states where Workers' Compensation (WC) benefits and temporary disability insurance benefits (TDI) are offset instead of DI benefits.

The Budget proposes to relieve SSA of the responsibility for representative fee approval, withholding, and payment functions to streamline and decrease SSA's operations and hearings workloads.

The Budget proposes to develop mechanisms for timely and accurate collection of Windfall Elimination Provision/Government Pension Offset (WEP/GPO) data from States and localities.

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 $12,258,000,000 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, 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 2019 not needed for fiscal year 2019 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.

Of the total amount made available in the first paragraph under this heading, not more than $1,683,000,000, to remain available through March 31, 2020, is 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: 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 $1,410,000,000 is additional new budget authority specified for purposes of section 251(b)(2)(B) of such Act: Provided further, That, of the additional new budget authority described in the preceding proviso, up to $10,000,000 may be transferred to the "Office of Inspector General", Social Security Administration, for the cost of jointly operated co-operative disability investigation units: Provided further, That such transfer authority is in addition to any other transfer authority provided by law: 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, $134,000,000 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.

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 114–10 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 2019 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 2019 will yield a return on investment (ROI) of about $9 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 2019 will yield a ROI of about $4 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 through 2021 for administrative program integrity activities at the Social Security Administration. The Budget includes the authorized $1,410 million cap adjustment for 2019. 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 Assistant U.S. Fraud Attorneys. To continue to support these important anti-fraud activities, appropriations language provides for SSA to transfer up to $10 million to the SSA Office of the Inspector General to fund CDI unit team leaders. SSA will conduct 703,000 full medical CDRs and approximately 2.8 million SSI redeterminations of eligibility in 2019. With access to program integrity cap adjustments, SSA is on track to remain current with program integrity workloads throughout the budget window. See additional discussion in the Budget Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.
