BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL



Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


Prisoners Receiving Social Security

And Other Federal Retirement,

Disability, And Education Benefits


Public concern over prisoners receiving
cash benefits from Social Security and
Veterans Administration programs led to
legislation in 1980 to exclude certain cash
benefits from prisoners.

This report estimates the number of prison-
ers who were receiving these benefits and
the number who receive other similar Fed-
eral cash benefits not addressed in the
1980 amendments and recommends im-
provements in the prisoner identification
process.

The report also discusses Federal funding
of prisoner postsecondary education
through Pell Grants and recommends
changes in regulations so that Pell Grants
are no longer based on tuitions greater than
schools actually charge the prisoners.
