a Workers who are paid at some time during the year for employment on which OASDI taxes are due.
b Beneficiaries with monthly benefits in current-payment status as of June 30.
c This column is the sum of OASI and DI beneficiaries. A small number of beneficiaries receive benefits from both funds.

Notes:
1. The number of beneficiaries does not include uninsured individuals who received benefits under section 228 of the Social Security Act. The General Fund of the Treasury reimbursed the trust funds for the costs of most of these individuals.
2. Historical covered worker and beneficiary data are subject to revision.
3. Components may not sum to totals because of rounding.
