Social Security Disability: Improved Processes for Planning and Conducting Demonstrations May Help SSA More Effectively Use Its Demonstration Authority
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.
Since 1980, Congress has required the Social Security Admin. (SSA) to conduct demonstration projects to test the effectiveness of possible changes to its Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs that could decrease individuals¿ dependence on benefits or improve program admin. However, in 2004, it was reported that SSA had not used its demonstration authority effectively. This follow-up report assesses: (1) how SSA has used its demonstration authority to test DI and SSI program changes and what information these efforts have yielded; and (2) what steps SSA has taken to improve the planning and management of its demonstration. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
