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
