## Abstract

We are revising our rules on benefit reduction for the family maximum to reflect enactment of two self-implementing provisions in the Social Security Independence and Program Improvements Act of 1994. The provisions repealed the facility-of-payment provision of the Social Security Act (the Act) and provided that reduction for the family maximum will be made prior to a temporary suspension for work when a non-working auxiliary or survivor beneficiary resides in a separate household from a working auxiliary or survivor beneficiary. These revisions are necessary to conform our regulations to current law. We have been paying benefits under these self-implementing provisions since January 1996.
