a. The definitions of the categories "net payroll tax contributions" and "reimbursements from the general fund of the Treasury" were revised in 2011. Data in these two columns for 1984 and later may vary from those in prior editions, but total receipts are unchanged. | |||||||||||
b. Beginning in 1983, includes transfers from the general fund of the Treasury representing contributions that would have been paid on deemed wage credits for military service in 1957–2001, if such credits were considered to be covered wages. | |||||||||||
c. Includes payments (1) in 1966 and later, for costs of noncontributory wage credits for military service performed before 1957; (2) in 1971–1982, for costs of deemed wage credits for military service performed after 1956; (3) in 1968 and later, for costs of benefits to certain uninsured persons who attained age 72 before 1968; (4) in 1984 for employees, and in 1984–1989 for self-employed persons, for payroll tax credits provided under Public Law 98-21; and (5) in 2010–2012, for payroll tax revenue forgone under the provisions of Public Laws 111-147, 111-312, 112-78, and 112-96. | |||||||||||
