§1383f Annual report on program

Summary

By May 30 each year, the Commissioner of Social Security must send a report to the President and Congress about the program under this subchapter. The report must describe the program and give past and current data on applications, approvals, and denials at each decision step (initial decisions, reconsiderations, administrative law judge hearings, Appeals Council reviews, and Federal court decisions). It must show who gets benefits and costs by group (aged, blind, disabled adults, and disabled children); prior enrollment in public programs; projections at least 25 years into the future; redeterminations and continuing disability reviews and their outcomes; use of work incentives; administrative and other operating costs; research summaries; state supplementation program operations; a history of changes to this subchapter; and any other information the Commissioner finds useful. Each member of the Social Security Advisory Board may include an individual report, or join with others on a single report, to be added to the annual report.
