Budget Conference Report on the FY 2010 Budget
SSA Language
For 2010, the conference agreement provides total net discretionary resources for the administrative expenses of SSA (across all relevant functions) of $11.6 billion, meeting the President's requested level. The total SSA funding level in the conference agreement assumes the President's requested level. The total SSA funding level in the conference agreement assumes the President's full request for a cap adjustment for program integrity efforts (including CDRs, SSI redeterminations and SSI asset verification.) It also reflects the President's full request for more resources to address the serious backlog of disability claims and hearings, as well as other backlog workloads for which additional resources are needed. By a 233-193 vote, the House this morning passed the conference agreement on the $3.5 trillion FY10 budget resolution, setting the stage for the Senate to complete action this afternoon or early this evening. Seventeen Democrats voted against the deal, while no Republicans voted for it. Senators have already begun their 10 hours of debate, although Majority Leader Reid said he did not expect Democrats to take their full five hours.
