SOCIAL SECURITY FINANCING The Social Security program is financed on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the taxes paid by workers being used to pay people getting benefits today.

In general, these taxes are designed to be approximately equal to anticipated expenditures. The funds not immediately needed are kept in reserve in the event of unusual financial circumstances. Social Security is financed almost completely by a flat rate payroll tax on work in covered employment. For 1984 the rate is 6.7! percent of the first $37,800 of earnings, for a maximum payment of and additional 0.3 percent is being paid from general revenue funds. Employers pay a full 7 percent.

These taxes cover the cost of the retirment and survivors insurance program, the disability insurance program, and the hospital insurance portion of Medicare. The medical insurance portion of Medicare, a voluntary program that covers the costs of physicians' services and related medical is financed through premiums paid by the people enrolled and from general revenue funds. All 4 programs have separate trust funds. Any assets not immediately needed for benefit payments or for administrative expenses are invested in Federal bonds that pay interest at long-term market rates. This money is owed to the trust funds and, under the law, the Government is required to redeem these bonds on request.
