Table 8 Social Security Expenditure by functional category, fiscal years 2003-2007

Note:

Following the enforcement of the Service and Supports for Persons with Disability Act in 2006, it is necessary to keep in mind that the expenditures and their functional classifications have changed in fiscal year 2006 and 2007. Some items were transferred from “Ⅵ Family benefits” to “Ⅲ Invalidity benefits”. Therefore, simple data comparisons of fiscal year 2007 and before should be avoided.
