When Will Astrue's Recommended Budget For Social Security Be Released?

We have seen the President's recommended budget numbers for the Social Security Administration for fiscal year (FY) 2009, which begins on October 1, 2008. However, unlike other federal agencies, the Social Security Administration is not only allowed, but required to release its own budget requests. When will we see these? Let me list the dates these have been released in recent years:
  • FY 2008 -- March 7, 2007
  • FY 2007 -- March 1, 2006
  • FY 2006 -- February 16, 2005
  • FY 2005 -- February 25, 2004
  • FY 2004 -- March 4, 2003
In other words, do not expect it today or tomorrow.

  1. Actually, you can find the Commissioner's request in the last line of the SSA section of the Budget Appendix: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy09/pdf/appendix/ssa.pdf
