Data notes
The final version of the law, as each chamber passed it. A chamber that passed it by voice vote or unanimous consent has no count. “Method not stated” means the record does not say how the chamber voted. Where the record has a member-by-member vote, the “Who voted for it” section shows who voted yea.
Summary
The Congressional Research Service’s plain-language summary of what the law does.
Amends titles II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) and XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act to permit the Managing Trustees of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund, the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund, and the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund to borrow funds from any of the Trust Funds for transfer to the Trust Fund which needs financing at any time before January 1983, if such borrowing best finances the benefit payments from the Trust Funds. Provides for interest payments on such loans and loan repayment. Requires the Board of Trustees of the Trust Funds to report to Congress on any amounts transferred under this Act.
Amends title II of the Social Security Act and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 to restore the minimum social security benefit under title II for individuals who are eligible for benefits before January 1982 or whose benefits are based upon a worker's eligibility or death before January 1982. Eliminates the minimum social security benefit in the case of individuals who belong to religious orders which require vows of poverty and which elected coverage under the Social Security Act before the enactment of this Act and who become eligible for OASDI benefits after October 1991.
Provides that in the case of sick pay to an employee or the employee's dependents, only payments received under a workmen's compensation law are excluded from the definition of "wages" for purposes of OASDI and Railroad Retirement Act coverage. Treats any third party which makes a payment which shall be included in the wages of an individual under this Act as an employer with respect to such wages for purposes of social security and railroad retirement employment taxes.
Amends title II of the Social Security Act to make it a felony (currently a misdemeanor) to willfully, knowingly, and with intent to deceive, misuse social security account numbers. Makes it a felony to knowingly alter, buy or sell, or counterfeit a social security card or possess or counterfeit a social security card with intent to sell or alter it.
Amends the Omnibus Reconcilation Act of 1980 to require that the statutory deadlines for implementing AFDC home health aid demonstration projects be met for projects in at least seven States.
Amends title II of the Social Security Act to require that Federal, State, and local government agencies give the Secretary of Health and Human Services, upon written request, the names and social security account numbers of prisoners under the agencies' jurisdiction so that the Secretary can suspend their disability benefits pursuant to title II.
Directs the Secretary to report to Congress within a specified time on the actions taken to prevent OASDI benefit payments to deceased individuals.

Data notes
The House’s recorded vote on the final version of the law (roll call 347 in Voteview), matched to the vote the record cites and checked against its totals. Positions are each member’s DW-NOMINATE score for that Congress, as on the Ideology page; left to right is more liberal to more conservative. Paired and announced yea votes count as yea. Lists follow the compass, most liberal first. 1 yea vote was cast by members of neither major party and is highlighted on the compass but not listed. A name links to a profile only for members of the current Congress. A law passed by voice vote or unanimous consent has no member list, and neither does a vote Voteview has not yet recorded.
Committees
The committees the bill was sent to, and what each did with it.
Data notes
A committee links to its page only where it exists in the current Congress; older and renamed committees are named without a link.
