Although the Bortz descriptions here refer to Records Boxes, and thus translate into 6 Archives Boxes, the number of boxes involved is small enough that the researcher can effectively narrow the descriptions down to a manageable number of boxes.
X-REF. TO NARA FINDING AIDS: MLR-A1, Entry 28
Boxes 1-2
The contents of these two boxes provide information on Commissioner Altmeyer's philosophy and thinking toward virtually every aspect of social security, in the years 1942-1952. Some speeches go back as far as 1919. These speeches were presented before various groups--medical, academic, fraternal, religious, welfare, organized labor, State officials, and inter-American groups. In these addresses, Mr. Altmeyer treated topics related to Social Security Administration responsibilities, which included old-age insurance, unemployment compensation, health insurance, children's welfare, and public assistance. The commissioner's articles covered about the same subjects, and were directed to all audiences that might have had an interest.

There is also considerable correspondence to and from Mr. Altmeyer; particularly significant is that with Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg in the 1940's, over the question of freezing the social security tax. There is also the considerable testimony that Mr. Altmeyer presented before congressional committees. A few pieces of correspondence with the President (including a recommended veto message relating to social security legislation) indicate his relationship with the Chief Executive. Miscellaneous items include press clippings, especially editorials; survey data on numerous subjects; and congressional proposals, along with Mr. Altmeyer's reactions to them.

X-REF. TO NARA FINDING AIDS: MLR-UD, Entry 6
Boxes 37-39 000-027.1
Of note in these boxes are the analyses and comments made on various legislative proposals (State and Federal) in the field of social security. The most important ones relate to the background and interpretation of the 1950 amendments. Included are: the original Administration proposals; testimony given at congressional hearings; and relations with the various interested groups--business, industry, organized labor, social welfare organizations, etc. Of interest also are materials on the work carried on and discussions held on disability and health insurance, although no legislation on them was passed during these years.

Under 013 are important dealings with the Department of the Treasury and with the Internal Revenue Service on the 1950 amendments. These deal with interpretation, tax collection, and the feasibility of placing income and social security taxes into one combined system.

Under 025 the files reflect relations with and the activities of various advisory councils and other groups that studied old-age and unemployment insurance, children's welfare, training, personnel matters, and related subjects. Of particular interest in connection with the 1947-1948 Advisory Council to the Senate Finance Committee were the discussions held among the Social Security Administration's staff on the question of whether this advisory group should be placed on a permanent basis. The advisory groups treated in these materials include not only those made up of persons from outside the Social Security Administration, but also those within, and those composed of interagency personnel as well.

Dealings with foreign groups such as the Inter-American Committee on Social Security and the International Labor Organization are reflected under 027. A number of folders, alphabetically arranged, provide details about the many persons--many of them from other countries--who came as trainees to learn about the social security system. The files reflect considerable dealings in this area, especially in connection with the two U.S. Government social welfare attaches who were stationed in India and France.

Box 40 031 (1949)-040.1-2 (January-June 1949)
The 031 materials reflect the relationship with the Chief Executive on budget matters and submittal of suggested items for the President's state of the Union message. This material also includes answers to the inquiries referred by the White House; dealings with the President's Council of Economic Advisers and with various presidential committees set up to study such subjects as migratory labor. Dealings with the House and Senate (032) are reflected by only a very few items.

Under 040 there are several reports on the Federal Security Agency's regional organization, made by outside consultants; comments by the Social Security Administration on the changes recommended; comments on proposals by the Hoover Commission--including that for a Department of Health, Education and Security; and reference to the 1949 organizational changes, including the shift of the Bureau of Employment Security out of the Social Security Administration.

Boxes 41-42 040.2(1950)--064.2(1949)
A few items reflect the relations developed with other agencies. Of note are those with the Department of the Treasury and the United Nations, and particularly those with the Federal Security Agency, as shown in reports of meetings.

The bulk of the material in these two boxes, however, relates to research activities. There are data on research in general, on the income of various population groups, on the issue of confidentiality of research findings, and on various types of pension and insurance plans in the health, accident, welfare, and retirement areas. These involve both Government and non government plans. The files indicate constant dealings with the Bureau of the Census on aspects of collecting statistics and in interpreting them.

The 056 materials relate to research on health and disability insurance; to meetings attended, and the reports, surveys and proposals discussed within the agency; the views of the American Medical Association on these subjects; and administrative problems involved in the possible passage of Federal legislation covering health and disability insurance. Other types of materials here include analysis of a reinsurance proposal, and various developments and problems in workmen's compensation.

Under 058 are such topics as: Social Security Administration income, and costs of administering its programs; arguments pro and con on the grant-in-aid programs to States, including costs and other pertinent materials that go as far back as 1936; Federal-State relations in general, including various suggested formulas for grant-in-aid; the trust fund, its status, and monthly collections; actuarial cost estimates of various other insurance and welfare programs; and data covering State government financing. Important on the subject of Federal-State relations are the files showing the views of the National Association of State Budget Officials.

Material on the informational function of the Social Security Administration is filed under 060. Included are details on the agency's functions, how it was organized and administered, and particularly how it was affected by budget changes in these years. A considerable amount of material relates to the 15th anniversary of the Social Security Act; the views of the public and special groups toward the social security programs; the use of various media to get the social security story across; and keeping Social Security Administration personnel informed of what was going on within the organization. There is correspondence that treats of the many outside publications to which information, advice, and comment were provided; as well as evidence of publications the Social Security Administration itself was turning out, in such form as the Social Security Bulletin, Foreign Social Security Notes, and the OASIS News.

Boxes 43-47 100-316
These five boxes cover several general areas: fiscal matters, personnel, and some of the administrative responsibilities. The 100's relate to fiscal developments, including budgets and their justification; personnel standards, particularly under State merit systems; allotments and expenditures; distribution of costs among the various bureaus of the Social Security Administration; and control over funds in the Federal-State grant-in-aid programs.

The 200 series is concerned with personnel matters, including staff requirements and ceilings; job descriptions; awards to employees; individual folders reflecting staff travel and meetings; requests for jobs and for job transfers, from Congressmen and from individual applicants; regulations on recruiting and on the use of consultants and interns; fair employment practices; and procedures in paying employees, in making promotions, in adopting employee suggestions, in rating employee performance, taking educational and military leave, setting hours of work, and in detailing, retiring, and dropping employees. There are also periodic reports that reflect the organization's size in these years.

The 300 series concerns administration. Here there are all kinds of administrative orders and bulletins, agency orders, and field service bulletins put out by the Social Security Administration and the Federal Security Agency or their components. Subjects included are work plans, training, personnel and property matters, and procedural methods for bringing policy matters to the attention of the commissioner for action. In this connection there are meeting agenda, correspondence, and some summaries of the general staff meetings and of the meetings the commissioner had with his bureau directors. Some of the administrative manuals put out by the Federal Security Agency and the Social Security Administration and its bureaus are here, too. Much emphasis was put on organization and on methods involving reports and conferences. The subject areas include management improvement and employee suggestions. In all these the researcher will find much reflecting the needs, goals, problems, issues, and opportunities of each of the bureaus and units involved. Employment Security letters distributed to State employment security agencies, provide insight into the issues and problems in that area of responsibility. The Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance had a similar communication for distribution to its field personnel, as did also the Bureau of Public Assistance. The Regional and Field Letter series covers the broader Federal Security Agency responsibilities.

Under 313 can be found the rationale and procedures followed in the retention of agency records.

Boxes 48-50 317(1949)-349(1949)
As in the collections described earlier in this guide, the 317's are invaluable in providing a source for historical information. Here are located the various periodic reports submitted by bureaus, offices, divisions and other organizational units. They include annual, semiannual, quarterly and monthly reports; among them are operating and progress reports, work plans, or forecasts and guides. Comments on and analysis of these reports give an added dimension.

Providing significant research from a slightly different approach are the 320 records. They reveal much on policy matters, procedures, and on organizational changes (including decentralization). They are shown in the areas of responsibility assigned; in the coordination of activities within the Social Security Administration, and in relation to the Federal Security Agency and other agencies; and by way of the committees established to carry out administrative functions. Useful are the memorandums, reported discussions, minutes or summaries of meetings held inside and outside the agency; data collections of all sorts on budgetary items; and especially those records that treat the field organization of the Social Security Administration and of the Federal Security Agency.

The procedures for securing and accounting for property and office supplies, and for determining building needs in the field and at headquarters (particularly for the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance) are filed under 340. Naturally, this subject involved contacts with congressional committees that were responsible for appropriations. There are also documented here the organizations to which the Social Security Administration sent staff representatives.

Boxes 51-52 360-800.1
The 360's, which detail travel regulations, finish up the administrative group of records.

A number of folders deal with employment security (the 500 series) in the period before the transfer of this function to the Department of Labor in 1949. There are data on program costs, fiscal standards, the labor market, and some periodic reports on the development of employment security legislation in the States. The attitude of insurance companies toward legislation on temporary disability is shown, and reports on conferences and discussions, as well as memorandums, present some information on the State employment security agencies. Other subjects include: recruitment of personnel, segregation practices, and State merit system standards; work loads; experience-rating data; coordination with the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, with local welfare agencies, and with other local and State agencies.

Also in box 51 are public assistance materials (the 600 series). Subjects treated or touched upon are: relations with the Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance and with the Children's Bureau on mutual problems; cooperative research; treatment of Indians; relations with the United Nations and other organizations, particularly in regard to the blind; contacts with State officials and such organizations as the American Public Welfare Association; medical care; legislation on permanent and total disability; review of bills introduced into State legislatures; Bureau of Public Assistance goals (program achievements sought); meetings with State administrators on carrying out the 1950 amendments; State plan material, and correspondence on the simplifying of procedures so as to provide for plan review in the regional offices, rather than having all of the plans sent to Washington for approval; the State merit systems, and dealings with the Office of Federal-State Relations in the Federal Security Agency; grant-in-aid regulations and procedures; apportionment of funds to programs; auditing policy; hearing procedures in the States; medical care (vendor payments and monetary payments); and confidentiality of information about public assistance recipients.

Material concerning the old-age and survivors insurance program is found in the 700 series. It is in the form of statistical matter, studies, and analytical notes. Subjects treated include the number of claims coming in and processed; the number of applications submitted for benefits; resources of persons covered by the program; proposals for changes in the law, such as a "double-decker" system; the costs of universal coverage; and the possible use of a stamp plan for agricultural and domestic workers. The attitudes of various groups toward social security (particularly organized labor and the National Association of Manufacturers) were analyzed.

The files contain replies to inquiries on various aspects of the program, particularly on the status and financing practices of the trust fund. There is correspondence with various groups who opposed coverage or who wanted to be brought under coverage--business groups, nonprofit organizations, colleges and universities; and with employees of Federal, State, and local governments, with military service veterans, Mexican nationals, Americans living abroad, employees of foreign or American-owned ocean-going vessels, and foreign claimants.

Several items treat the 1950 amendments in detail: carrying out its provisions; corresponding with the new groups to be covered; computing the new benefits; interpreting technical and substantive changes; defining the terms to be used in connection with the amendments; interpreting tax regulations; and the altered relationship with the railroad retirement system, resulting from the 1950 amendments. The question of confidentiality of wage records is treated in correspondence with State officials, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Veterans' Administration, and other organizations.

A number of items concern civil defense plans (the 800 series). This subject brought the Social Security Administration into contact with various agencies and made it a participant in civilian defense exercises in a number of cities. There is also material on the Social Security Administration's welfare responsibilities during World War II.

Boxes 53-54 095 (A-Z)
Although these records make up two full boxes, there is little of any significance. As was true of the 095 files for other groups, these alphabetically arranged folders reflect the correspondence carried on with individuals, organizations, groups, and Congressmen. Unfortunately, these contain many cross-reference sheets, requests for publications, and complaints from claimants on benefits. The only really worthwhile items are found in the two large folders of correspondence with Edwin E. Witte, conducted mainly by Wilbur J. Cohen, as technical advisor to the commissioner. These two folders do make up an invaluable source, providing as they do analyses of the 1950 amendments, the attitudes and philosophy of Witte, some inside glimpses of activities at the administrative level in the Social Security Administration, and--to a limited extent--in the academic world and among professional public welfare organizations outside the Federal Government.
