REPORT BY THE U. S.



General Accounting Office








Erroneous Supplemental Security

Income Payments Result From

Problems In Processing Changes

In Recipients' Circumstances


Recipients of Supplemental Security Income
are required to report to the Social Security
Administration changes in income, resources,
and other circumstances affecting their bene-
fit payment amount or continued eligibility
for assistance. Millions of dollars are being
erroneously paid to recipients annually, be-
cause of the lack of adequate filing systems,
processing procedures and goals, and man-
agement controls to     ensure that these
changes are promptly and accurately proc-
essed.

Social Security's reliance on its over 1,300
field offices to develop their own methods
to process this large workload --about 12 mil-
lion changes annually--has not been effective.
Stronger central direction, improvements in
district office processing practices, and com-
puter controls to ensurp that these changes
are properly processed are needea.
