REPORT


TO THE CONGRESS


BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES


Improvements Needed In

Rehabilitating Social

Security Disability

Insurance Beneficiaries


Department of Health, Education, and Welfare


The Beneficiary Rehabilitation Program, es-
tablished to save social security trust funds,
has been marginally successful. HEW claims of
program savings have been overstated.

State vocational rehabilitation agencies have
had problems complying with the program's
guidelines, and HEW's implementation and
evaluation have been inadequate.

HEW should make a concentrated effort to
return the maximum number of disabled
beneficiaries to self-sufficiency. To support
this effort, the Congress should change the
present fixed-percentage method of financing
to a method which relates funding to the
demonstrated program success in providing
savings to the trust funds.
