1/ The CPI used to adjust OASDI benefits is the Consumer Price Index for Urban
Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI), as defined by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Department of Labor. The values shown are adjusted by dividing the
calendar-year annual average CPI by the analogous value for 1996, and multi-
plying the result by 100, thereby initializing the CPI at 100 for 1996.
2/ The "SSA average wage index" is defined in section 215(i)(1)(G) of the
Social Security Act; it is used in the calculations of initial benefits and
the automatic adjustment of the contribution and benefit base and other wage-
indexed program amounts.
3/ Taxable payroll consists of total earnings subject to OASDI contribution
rates, adjusted to include deemed wages based on military service and to
reflect the lower effective contribution rates (compared to the combined
employee-employer rate) which apply to multiple-employer "excess wages."
4/ The compound interest-rate factor is based on the average of the assumed
annual interest rates for special public-debt obligations issuable to the
trust funds in the 12 months of the year, under each alternative.
