The Congressional Research Service has issued a report on the status of Social Security’s appropriation for the current fiscal year. Technically, it’s about the agency’s Limitation on Administrative Expenditures (LAE) but, in effect, it’s about the appropriation. The report is as dry as dust but, like all appropriations matters, it’s vitally important. Here’s a table from the report:
Annual LAE | FY2025 Enacted | FY2026 Commissioner's Budget | FY2026 President's Budget | FY2026 House Committee | FY2026 Senate Committee | FY2026 Enacted |
Dollar amount | $14,299 | $14,793 | $14,793 | $14,793 | $14,893 | |
Dollar difference relative to FY2025 enacted | — | +$494 | +$494 | +$494 | +$594 | |
Percentage change relative to FY2025 enacted | — | +3.5% | +3.5% | +3.5% | +4.2% |
