Such advance payments have occurred about every 7 years, first for benefits scheduled for January 3, 1982. For comparability with other historical years, all trust fund operations and asset reserves reflect the 12 months of benefits scheduled for payment in each year.   Note: The annual net increase in the fund is      the change in the asset reserves from the end of one year to the end of the next.     In 1982, the fund borrowed money from the Disability Insurance      and Hospital Insurance Trust Funds, and repaid the      borrowed amounts in 1985 and 1986.  For each of these years, the net increase     in the fund is equal to total income less total cost, plus amounts     borrowed or less amounts repaid. Asset reserves, except for relatively small cash amounts,     are invested in Federal Government securities.
