     such month and of any benefits under section 202 for such 
     month based on the individual's wages and self-employment 
     income shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the total 
     amount of unemployment compensation received by such 
     individual for such month.
       ``(2) The reduction of benefits under paragraph (1) shall 
     also apply to any past-due benefits under section 223 for any 
     month in which the individual was entitled to--
       ``(A) benefits under such section, and

     individual on other than a monthly basis (including a benefit 
     payable as a lump sum to the extent that it is a commutation 
     of, or a substitute for, such periodic compensation), the 
     reduction under this section shall be made at such time or 
     times and in such amounts as the Commissioner of Social

       ``(d)(1) Subject to paragraph (2), if the Commissioner 
     determines that an individual may be eligible for 
     unemployment compensation which would give rise to a 
     reduction of benefits under this section, the Commissioner 
     may require, as a condition of certification for payment of 
     any benefits under section 223 to any individual for any 
     month and of any benefits under section 202 for such month 
     based on such individual's wages and self-employment income,

     has been a decision on such claim.

     in the absence of evidence to the contrary, rely upon a 
     certification by the individual that the individual has not 
     filed and does not intend to file such a claim, or that the 
     individual has so filed and no final decision thereon has 
     been made, in certifying benefits for payment pursuant to 
     section 205(i).
       ``(e) Whenever a reduction in total benefits based on an 
     individual's wages and self-employment income is made under 
     this section for any month, each benefit, except the 
     disability insurance benefit, shall first be proportionately 
     decreased, and any excess of such reduction over the sum of 
     all such benefits other than the disability insurance benefit 
     shall then be applied to such disability insurance benefit.
       ``(f)(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the 
     head of any Federal agency shall provide such information 
     within its possession as the Commissioner may require for 
     purposes of making a timely determination of the amount of 
     the reduction, if any, required by this section in benefits 
     payable under this title, or verifying other information 
     necessary in carrying out the provisions of this section.
       ``(2) The Commissioner is authorized to enter into 
     agreements with States, political subdivisions, and other 
     organizations that administer unemployment compensation, in 
     order to obtain such information as the Commissioner may 
     require to carry out the provisions of this section.
       ``(g) For purposes of this section, the term `unemployment 
     compensation' has the meaning given that term in section 
     85(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and the total 
     amount of unemployment compensation to which an individual is 
     entitled shall be determined prior to any applicable 
     reduction under State law based on the receipt of benefits 
     under section 202 or 223.''.

     Security Act (42 U.S.C. 424a(a)) is amended, in the matter 
     preceding paragraph (1), by striking ``the age of 65'' and
