1. Historical Document....

2. Indeed. There're three abbreviations: OASI, DI, and HI.

OASI - Old Age and Survivors Insurance
DI - Disability Insurance
HI - Health Insurance (aka Medicare)

Sometimes two funds are referred to in combination: OASDI. That's Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance.


Oh. By the way. They're Insurance.
