There will be two Congressional hearings and one appropriations markup session affecting Social Security on Thursday, June 21. The hearings, but not the markup session, should be available in live streaming video. Here is the list:
- 10:00 Social Security Subcommittee of House Ways and Means Committee Hearing on Protecting the Privacy of the Social Security Number From Identity Theft
- 10:00 Senate Finance Committee Hearing on Barriers to Work for Individuals Receiving Social Security Disability Benefits
- 2:00 Senate Appropriations Committee markup of appropriations bill including Social Security

In particular:
When responding to specific questions on program and appropriations requests, witnesses will not provide the agency request to OMB or plans for the use of appropriations that exceed the President's request . Typically, witnesses are responsible for one or a few programs, whereas the President is responsible for all the needs of the Federal Government given the revenues available. Where appropriate, witnesses should explain this difference in perspective and that it is therefore not appropriate for them to support appropriations above the President's request.
