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, and Retaining Employment and Talent after Injury/Illness Network (RETAIN), which aims to increase employment retention and participation for individuals who have developed or are at risk of developing a work-threatening disability.

The Limitation on Administrative Expenses (LAE) 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 received $98 million funded incrementally from FY 2015 to FY 2018.

The request in 2021 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 (CDR) to determine whether an individual continues to qualify for DI and/or the SSI program. SSA estimates that medical CDRs conducted in FY 2021 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 SSI non-medical redeterminations conducted in FY 2021 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 through 2021 for administrative program integrity activities at the Social Security Administration. The Budget includes the authorized $1,302 million cap adjustment for 2021. 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 $11.2 million to the SSA Office of the Inspector General to fund CDI unit team leaders. SSA will conduct 690,000 full medical CDRs and approximately 2.0 million SSI redeterminations of eligibility in 2021. With access to program integrity cap adjustment levels, 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.

The Budget proposes offsetting collections from fees for replacement Social Security cards (estimated at $270 million in FY 2021).
