A bill to amend section 201(g) of the Social Security Act to modify the manner in which payment is made from the Social Security Trust Funds for the costs of printing and mailing checks for benefits payable under titles II, XVI, XVIII and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends title II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) of the Social Security Act to require that stationery, printing, and postage costs estimated to be incurred by the Financial Management Service (FMS) of the Department of the Treasury in issuing benefit checks under titles II, XVI (Supplemental Security Income), and XVIII (Medicare) of the Act be paid directly from the social security trust funds. (Currently, FMS must seek an appropriation from the Congress to cover such costs; the trust funds then reimburse the General Fund of the Treasury for amounts expended.)
