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 Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund borrowed money from the fund, 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, less amounts borrowed or plus amounts repaid. Assets, except for relatively small cash amounts, are invested in Federal Government securities.
