Table 8 Social Security Expenditure by functional category, fiscal years 2002-2006

Note:

Following the enforcement of the Services and Supports for Persons with Disabilities Act, it is necessary to keep in mind that the expenditures and their functional classifications have changed in 2006. Some items were transferred from “Ⅴ Sickness and health” or “Ⅵ Family benefits” to “Ⅲ Invalidity benefits.” In addition, the extraordinary subsidy for the Services and Supports for Persons with Disabilities Act greatly increased the expense on “Invalidity benefits.” Therefore, simple data comparisons of fiscal year 2006 and before should be avoided.
