Roth Chairman The Honorable Daniel Patrick Moynihan Ranking Minority Member Committee on Finance United States Senate The Honorable Bill Archer Chairman The Honorable Charles B. Rangel Ranking Minority Member Committee on Ways and Means House of Representatives Subject: Social Security Administration: Effective Date of Application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by Social Security Administration (SSA), entitled Effective Date of Application for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits (RIN: 0960- AE71). We received the rule on June 10, 1999. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on June 15, 1999. 64 Fed. Reg. 31969. The final rule implements section 204 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, which changes the date a Social Security application is effective so that the earliest month for which benefits can be paid is the month following the month in which the application is filed. Previously, benefits were prorated for the month in which the application was filed. Also, the rule makes changes concerning emergency advance payments, interim assistance reimbursements, and in the definition of eligible spouse. Enclosed is our assessment of the SSA's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review indicates that SSA complied with the applicable requirements. GAO/OGC-99-52
