It's in the constitution that the Treasury can't pay out anything unless there's been an appropriation law passed for it. So there do have to be appropriations from Congress. These might be multi-year if Congress chooses, I don't know. In any case, the Social Security Act specifies what must be paid to who, so the appropriations are regarded as mandatory, unless a change to the Act gets passed.
