Summary
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is teaming up with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to share civil service benefit info. This helps SSA make sure Disability Insurance and other benefits are correctly adjusted when someone also gets federal retirement or disability pay. If you get these benefits, this new program affects how your payments are calculated, but no extra costs or delays are expected.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
SSA will apply civil-service offsets
If you get Disability Insurance (DI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), or Special Veterans' Benefits (SVB), the Social Security Administration (SSA) will use Office of Personnel Management (OPM) data to identify Federal retirement or disability pay you also get. SSA is legally required to reduce (offset) your DI, SSI, or SVB payments by a percentage of those Federal Government retirement or disability benefits.
No extra costs or delays expected
The notice says this matching program is not expected to cause extra costs or delays for people who receive these benefits. You should not expect new fees or slower payments because of this data-sharing program.
