1/ Under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-344), fiscal years
1977 and later consist of the 12 months ending on September 30 of each year.
Fiscal years prior to 1977 consisted of the 12 months ending on June 30 of each
year.
2/ Beginning in 1983, includes transfers from general fund of Treasury repre-
senting contributions that would have been paid on deemed wage credits for
military service in 1957 and later, if such credits were considered to be
covered wages.
3/ Includes payments (1) in 1947-52 and in 1967 and later, for costs of non-
contributory wage credits for military service performed before 1957; (2) in
1972-83, for costs of deemed wage credits for military service performed after
1956; and (3) in 1969 and later, for costs of benefits to certain uninsured
persons who attained age 72 before 1968.
4/ Net interest includes net profits or losses on marketable investments.
Beginning in 1967, administrative expenses are charged currently to the trust
fund on an estimated basis, with a final adjustment, including interest, made
in the following fiscal year. The amounts of these interest adjustments are
included in net interest. For years prior to 1967, a description of the method
of accounting for administrative expenses is contained in the 1970 Annual
Report. Beginning in October 1973, the figures shown include relatively small
amounts of gifts to the fund. Net interest for 1983-86 reflects payments from
a borrowing trust fund to a lending trust fund for interest on amounts owed
under the interfund borrowing provisions. During 1983-91, interest paid from
the trust fund to the general fund on advance tax transfers is reflected. The
amounts shown for 1985 and 1986 include interest adjustments of $76.5 million
and $11.5 million, respectively, on unnegotiated checks issued before April
1985.
5/ Less than $500,000.
