STRATEGIC GOAL 3:
Preserve the Public’s Trust in
Our Programs
Ø Increase Efforts to Accurately Pay Benefits
Ø Recover Improper Payments
TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL WE WILL
Ø Maintain Accurate Earnings Records
Ø Make Our Administrative Operations Even More Efficient
We take our responsibility to be good stewards of the funds entrusted to us very seriously, and we have
a well-deserved reputation for excellent financial management of our programs. We pay over
$65 billion in benefits each month. Our most important responsibility is to pay these benefits accurately
and promptly to the individuals who are entitled to receive them. Additionally, we operate very
efficiently, holding our administrative expenses to about 1.4 percent of benefit expenses.
We are committed to preventing fraud and abuse. We collaborate with other Federal agencies to
investigate and prosecute fraud, expand forensic computer crime detection capabilities, and strengthen
fraud prevention by adding new checks and balances in our processes. In addition, we commit to
continuing our long history of conducting analyses and providing data to the Administration, Congress,
and stakeholders on proposals for Social Security reform.
This strategic goal aligns with the President’s challenge to Federal agencies to aggressively reduce
improper payments government-wide. To preserve the public’s trust in our programs, we must
continue to invest in enhanced program integrity activities. Together, our stewardship and service
missions serve a common purpose—making our programs more effective and efficient. Visit our
