Altmeyer participated in policy preparation for the Committee on Economic Security, then served for a long period in the Social Security Board and its successor institutions. His work connected social-insurance institutional design, administrative organisation, and continuing implementation, while also being constrained by the original coverage scope and the federal-state division of responsibilities.

阿尔特迈耶参与经济安全委员会的政策准备，随后在社会保障委员会及其后继机构长期任职。他的工作连接社会保险制度设计、行政组织与持续实施，也受到原始保障范围和联邦州分工的限制。

ASSESSMENT SCOPEWhat this score covers
All included contribution titles and notes are available in English. The complete original text remains available in Chinese; both editions use the same scores and source links.
Uncovered contributions and unresolved harms are not treated as zero. This is not a complete assessment of a lifetime.
2 included contributions have incomplete evidence; the relevant gap appears with that contribution.
Original scope note
This research record currently includes 2 outcomes within a limited scope; M and attribution shares are revisable judgments. Uncovered content and negative effects not yet clarified are not treated as zero; specific gaps appear in the item-by-item explanations.
Original Chinese scope
本轮当前已列2项有限研究账；M与归功份额为可修订判断。未覆盖内容和未核清的负面作用不按零处理，具体缺口见逐项说明。
CALCULATIONHow the score is calculated
Q = 10^(M/2) − 1; Lᵢ = aᵢ × Qᵢ; L = Σ Lᵢ; S = 2 × log₁₀(1 + L).
M is an outcome’s assessed magnitude and a is the person’s allocated share. A standalone score is only a per-item reference; the attributed light from distinct contributions is what can be combined.
SCORE DETAILS

Record year1934–1935
summaryHe participated in translating multiple economic-security schemes into a federal framework capable of legislation.
Original Chinese · summary
参与把多类经济安全方案转化为可立法的联邦框架。
M rationaleTranslating multiple economic-security schemes, including pensions and unemployment protection, into a national social-insurance framework capable of legislation is major institutional design, assigned M5.8; occupational exclusions such as agriculture and domestic service, and enduring racial and gender inequality caused by federal-state compromise, are included as direct limitations of the institution itself in M.
Original Chinese · M rationale
将养老金、失业保障等多类经济安全方案转化为可立法的全国社会保险框架，是重大制度设计，取M5.8；农业、家政等职业排除及联邦—州妥协造成的长期种族和性别不平等，作为制度本身的直接局限纳入M。

02Early administrative construction and amendment implementation of the Social Security system社会保障制度的早期行政建设与修法实施OUT-SL3388-1935-1953-SOCIAL-SECURITY-ADMINISTRATION
Record year1935–1953
summaryDuring the institution's initial period, he sustained long-term organisation, federal-state interfaces, and amendment implementation, making the law an operating administrative system.
Original Chinese · summary
在制度初创期维持长期组织、联邦州接口和修法执行，使法律成为可运行行政系统。
M rationaleEighteen years of nationwide administrative construction is a tangible institutional delivery independent of textual design, but it depended heavily on many staff, state agencies, and Congress, and inequalities in coverage and service remained.
Original Chinese · M rationale
持续十八年的全国行政建设是独立于文本设计的实物制度交付，但高度依赖大量员工、州机构与国会，且仍存在覆盖和服务不平等。

overlap boundaryThis counts the organisational residual of building and sustaining federal Social Security administration from the Committee period through the Commissioner's period in 1935–1953; it does not duplicate the original 1935 legislative design and is not credited with all benefits or macroeconomic outcomes.

BOUNDARIES NOT COUNTED
Not included in this score
These subjects are recorded as exclusions and are not silently treated as zero or as part of the included outcomes.
Policy input for disability social insurance from 1941
1941年起的残障社会保险政策输入
Reason SSA policy history supports early participation, but its 1941 text and legislative chain have not been read, so later disability-insurance schemes cannot be attributed to the individual.
Original Chinese reason
SSA政策史支持早期参与，但未读其1941文本与立法链，不能把后来残障保险方案归于个人。
Wisconsin labour administration and international social-insurance work
威斯康星州劳工行政与国际社会保险工作
Reason The evidence in this round has not formed a specific independent delivery.
Original Chinese reason
本轮证据未形成具体独立交付。
