handle is hein.gao/gaobablpy0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GAO United States General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Office of the General Counsel B-276223 February 25, 1997 The Honorable William V. Roth, Jr. Chairman The Honorable Daniel Patrick Moynihan Ranking Minority Member Committee on Finance United States Senate The Honorable Bill Archer Chairman The Honorable Charles Rangel Ranking Minority Member Committee on Ways and Means House of Representatives Subject: Social Security Administration: Cycling Payment of Social Security Benefits Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Social Security Administration (SSA), entitled Cycling Payment of Social Security Benefits (RIN: 0960-AE31). We received the rule on February 12, 1997. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on February 11, 1997. 62 Fed. Reg. 6114. The final rule establishes additional days throughout the month on which Social Security benefits will be paid. Currently, all payments are issued by the third of each month. This payment schedule has led to a deterioration of service that SSA has been able to provide for recipients, either over the telephone or in face-to-face meetings, because of the workload peak. Spreading the payments out over the course of a month will alleviate this problem. The rule change does not affect current beneficiaries. 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 the SSA complied with the applicable requirements. GAO/OGC-97-24
