Note: The annual net increase in the fund is the change
in the assets from the end of one year to the end of the next.
In 1982, the fund borrowed money from the Disability Insurance
and Hospital Insurance Trust Funds, and repaid the
borrowed amounts in 1985 and 1986. For each of these years, the net increase
in the fund is equal to total receipts less total expenditures, plus amounts
borrowed or less amounts repaid. Assets, except for relatively small cash amounts,
are invested in Federal Government securities. |
