Costs of administering old-age, survivors, and disability insurance (OASDI) are of interest both to specialists in income maintenance and to the general public. This article presents a summary of these expenses compared with several important bases: Contribution income, benefit payments, and taxable payroll. An index is developed and used to analyze changes in administrative expense levels from 1960 through 1979. Over the long run, the cost of operate OASDI per unit of work has increased more slowly than for service industries in general, a trend that should continue in the old-age and survivors insurance program (OASI). Although implementing the 1980 Disability Amendments will raise disability insurance (DI) unit costs, these higher expenses are necessary to obtain the more selective benefit payments provided in this cost-saving legislation.
老年、遗属和残疾保险（OASDI）的管理成本，无论是对收入维持领域的专家还是普通公众来说，都是备受关注的。本文将这些费用与几个重要基准进行了比较总结：缴费收入、福利支付和应税工资总额。编制了一个指数，并用于分析1960年至1979年期间行政费用水平的变化。从长期来看，OASDI每单位工作量的运营成本增长速度比一般服务业要慢，这一趋势在老年和遗属保险计划（OASI）中应会持续。尽管实施1980年《残疾修正案》会提高残疾保险（DI）的单位成本，但这些更高的费用对于获得这项节省成本的立法所规定的更具选择性的福利支付来说是必要的。
