Senate votes to make Social Security an independent agency
The Senate approved separating the Social Security Administration from Health and Human Services to become an independent agency effective March 31, 1995. The new agency would have a budget of 325 billion dollars, about 65,000 employees and 1,300 field offices, and was sent to the House for action. Supporters say independence will reduce political influence and budget cuts while boosting public confidence.
