The fee would be indexed to the CPI thereafter. The additional revenue would be used for SSA’s administrative expenses, subject to appropriation. This is one of several proposals in the budget to charge fees to users directly availing themselves of, or subject to, a government service, program, or activity, in order to cover the government’s costs. Legislation will be proposed to authorize the fees and, upon enactment of the authorization, a budget amendment to the current appropriations language will be proposed to make the fees available for expenditure. Because the current requirements of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 make it difficult to fund discretionary programs with receipts that are not authorized in appropriations acts, the Administration is proposing a change in the requirements to facilitate the enactment of proposals such as this one.

The estimate of administrative expenses borne by each of the financing sources, including the Hospital Insurance (HI) and Supplemental Medical Insurance (SMI) trust funds for Medicare-related activities performed by the Social Security Administration (SSA), has been made by SSA based on the current cost allocation methodology. Pursuant to section 201(g) of the Social Security Act, a final accounting of actual payments is made after the close of each fiscal year. In the Conference Committee Report for Public Law 103–296, The Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994, the conferees requested that the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Commissioner of Social Security make a joint examination of the most appropriate cost allocation methodology and report their joint findings to the Congress within 36 months of enactment (August 15, 1997). The Secretary and the Commissioner are in the process of designing and carrying out this study and preparing the required report to the Congress.
