SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

20 CFR Part 404


Notice of Briefing on Proposal To Cycle Payment of Social 
Security Benefits

AGENCY: Social Security Administration (SSA).

ACTION: Notice of Briefing on Proposal to Cycle Payment of Social 
Security Benefits.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Historically, Social Security benefits generally have been 
paid on the 3rd of the month. As a result of SSA's ongoing efforts to 
improve service to our customers, we published a Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register on January 26, 1996 at 61 FR 
2654 announcing that the Commissioner of Social Security is proposing 
to establish additional payment days throughout the month on which 
Social Security benefits will be paid. Current beneficiaries will not 
be affected by this proposal. In the NPRM we stated that we planned to 
host an informational briefing on payment cycling for representatives 
of groups and organizations, and any others, who are interested in the 
initiative. This notice announces the time and place of the briefing.
    The briefing session will be designed to provide details and to 
answer questions on how SSA proposes to implement payment cycling. 
Members of the public who would like to attend the session must reserve 
space by contacting SSA's Office of Communications ahead of time by 
calling (410) 965-4001 or telefaxing (410) 966-4871.
    The session is not designed to take public comments on the NPRM. 
Comments on the NPRM should be submitted in writing to the Commissioner 
of Social Security, P.O. Box 1585, Baltimore, MD 21235, sent by telefax 
to (410) 966-2830, sent by E-Mail to ``[email protected],'' or

Administration, 3-B-1 Operations Building, 6401 Security Boulevard, 
Baltimore, MD 21235, between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on regular 
business days. Your comments must be received by March 26, 1996 to be 
considered.
