  Premium   Download PDF Now (15 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Oct. 6, 1987
Report No. T-HRD-88-1
Subject
Summary:

GAO discussed the effects of budget constraints that the Social Security Administration (SSA) imposed on state disability determination services (DDS). GAO found that: (1) SSA reduced DDS staffing for fiscal year (FY) 1987 by 3.7 percent, with 40 DDS suffering staff reductions; (2) SSA limited the number of continuing disability reviews (CDR) that it required states to do in FY 1987; (3) the reduction of CDR work loads may have cost the Disability Insurance Trust Fund more than $200 million in unnecessary benefit payments; (4) the SSA productivity measurement system did not provide accurate or uniform productivity comparisons among DDS; and (5) DDS personnel expressed concern that budget constraints could negatively affect CDR quality. GAO believes that SSA should seek sufficient resources for DDS to process more CDR.
