Ball's Final Report

Managing the Social Security Program

In January 1973, shortly before leaving office, Commissioner Ball authored his final major document as Commissioner. It was entitled "Managing the Social Security Program." This document was nothing less than Ball's instructions to his successors on how they should continue to run the Social Security program after his departure.
