We propose to implement the Commissioner’s access to and use of wage and employment information held by payroll data providers.  We will use this data to help  administer the title II Disability Insurance (DI) and title XVI Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs and prevent improper payments. Under section 824 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, we are required to publish regulations implementing our access and use of this data, which is to include: guidelines for the information exchanges, authorizations, reduced wage reporting responsibilities, and procedures for notifying individuals of reduced reporting.
