Total benefit payment data

Trust fund data

      Monthly benefits are payable from the       Old-Age and Survivors Insurance      (OASI) and Disability Insurance (DI)       Trust Funds for certain types of beneficiaries. Data on the total      number of beneficiaries eligible for such benefits are available      here.

	  Each month, some individuals become entitled to a new or different type of benefit.      The number of beneficiaries awarded a benefit,       and the average monthly amount awarded, are available through one of the      forms below.

Note that the average benefit amounts provided by the forms below represent       the amounts due to awards for the given month in the table.  These amounts exclude       any adjustments to benefits for      retroactive payments and certain payment withholding that may be attributable      to eligibility in prior months. For awards, retroactive payments are made to      individuals for any applicable months of eligibility prior to month in which       the award is effective. Total net retroactive payment data to all beneficiaries      are available here.

      You may first want to see a brief description of the       available types of beneficiaries before continuing.      You may view a graph of awards to      retired and disabled workers.

      Data are available for 1975 and later.
