middle-error profile (LEP/MEP)
telephone, or face-to-face
redetermination interviews with SSI
recipients and representative payees, if
applicable. SSA conducts LEP
redeterminations interviews on a 6-year

4. Internet Direct Deposit
Application—31 CFR part 210—0960–
0634. SSA requires all applicants and
recipients of Social Security Old Age,
Survivors, and Disability Insurance
(OASDI) benefits, or SSI payments, to
receive these benefits and payments via
direct deposit at a financial institution.
SSA receives Direct Deposit/Electronic
Funds Transfer (DD/EFT) enrollment
information from OASDI beneficiaries
and SSI recipients to facilitate DD/EFT
of their funds with their chosen
financial institution. We also use this
information when an enrolled
individual wishes to change their DD/
EFT information. For the convenience of
the respondents, we collect this
information through several modalities,
including an internet application; in-
office or telephone interviews; and our
automated telephone system. In
addition to using the direct deposit
information to enable DD/EFT of funds
to the recipient’s chosen financial
institution, we also use the information
through our Direct Deposit Fraud
Indicator to ensure the correct recipient
receives the funds. Respondents are
OASDI beneficiaries and SSI recipients
requesting that we enroll them in the
Direct Deposit program, or change their
direct deposit banking information.

1. Certificate of Responsibility for
Welfare and Care of Child Not in
Applicant’s Custody—20 CFR 404.330,
404.339–404.341 and 404.348–
404.349—0960–0019. SSA uses Form
SSA–781 to determine if non-custodial
parents who file for spouse, mother’s,
father’s, or surviving divorced mother’s
or father’s benefits based on having a
child in their care meet the in-care
requirements. The in-care provision
requires claimants to have an entitled
child under age 16 or disabled in their
care. The respondents are applicants for
spouse, mother’s, father’s, or surviving
divorced mother or father Social
Security benefits.

2. Farm Self-Employment
Questionnaire—20 CFR 404.1082(c) &
404.1095—0960–0061. SSA collects the
information on Form SSA–7156 on a
voluntary and as-needed basis to
determine the existence of an
agriculture trade or business which may
affect the monthly benefit, or insured
status, of the applicant. SSA requires
the existence of a trade or business
before determining if an individual or
partnership has net earnings from self-
employment. When an applicant
indicates self-employment as a farmer,
SSA uses the SSA–7165 to obtain the
information we need to determine the
existence of an agricultural trade or
business, and subsequent covered
earnings for Social Security entitlement
purposes. As part of the application
process, we conduct a personal

using Form SSA–7165. We also allow
applicants to complete a fillable version
of the form available on our website,
which they can complete, print, and
sign. The respondents are applicants for
Social Security benefits whose
entitlement depends on whether the
worker received covered earnings from
self-employment as a farmer.

3. Child Relationship Statement—20
CFR 404.355 & 404.731—0960–0116. To
help determine a child’s entitlement to
Social Security benefits, SSA uses
criteria under section 216(h)(3) of the
Act, deemed child provision. SSA may
deem a child to an insured individual
if: (1) The insured individual presents
SSA with satisfactory evidence of
parenthood, and was living with or
contributing to the child’s support at
certain specified times; or (2) the
insured individual: (a) Acknowledged
the child in writing; (b) was court
decreed as the child’s parent; or (c) was
court ordered to support the child. To
obtain this information, SSA uses Form
SSA–2519, Child Relationship
Statement. The respondents are people
with knowledge of the relationship
between certain individuals filing for
Social Security benefits and their
alleged biological children.

4. Pre-1957 Military Service Federal
Benefit Questionnaire—20 CFR
404.1301 –404.1371—0960–0120. SSA
may grant gratuitous military wage
credits for active military or naval
service (under certain conditions)
during the period September 16, 1940
through December 31, 1956, if no other
Federal agency (other than the Veterans
Administration) credited the service for
benefit eligibility or computation
purposes. We use Form SSA–2512 to
collect specific information about other
Federal, military, or civilian benefits the
wage earner may receive when the
applicant indicates both pre-1957
military service and the receipt of a
Federal benefit. SSA uses the data in the
claims adjudication process to grant
gratuitous military wage credits when
applicable, and to solicit sufficient
information to determine eligibility.
Respondents are applicants for Social
Security benefits on a record where the
wage earner claims pre-1957 military
service.

5. Authorization for the Social

Account Records from a Financial
Institution—20 CFR 416.200, 416.203,
404.508, & 416.553—0960–0293. SSA
collects and verifies financial
information from individuals applying
for Title II and Title XVI waiver
determinations, as well as those who
apply for, or currently receive (in the
case of redetermination), SSI payments.
We require the financial information
from these applicants to: (1) Determine
the eligibility of the applicant or
recipient for SSI benefits; or (2)
determine if a request to waive a Social
Security overpayment defeats the
purpose of the Act. If the Title II and
Title XVI waiver applicants, or the SSI
claimants, provide incomplete,
unavailable, or seemingly altered
records, SSA contacts their financial
institutions to verify the existence,
ownership, and value of accounts
owned. Financial institutions need
individuals to sign Form SSA–4641–F4,
or work with SSA staff to complete one
of SSA’s electronic applications, e4641
or the Access to Financial Institutions
(AFI) screens, to authorize the
individual’s financial institution to
disclose records to SSA. The
respondents are Title II and Title XVI
recipients applying for waivers, or SSI
applicants, recipients, and their to
determine SSI eligibility.

Claim—20 CFR 404.2108(b),
404.2117(c)(1)&(2), 404.2101(b)&(c),
404.2121(a), 416.2208(b), 416.2217(c)(1)
& (2), 416.2201(b)&(c), 416.2221(a)—
0960–0310. State vocational
rehabilitation (VR) agencies submit
Form SSA–199 to SSA to obtain
reimbursement of costs incurred for
providing VR services. SSA requires
state VR agencies to submit
reimbursement claims for the following
categories: (1) Claiming reimbursement
for VR services provided; (2) certifying
adherence to cost containment policies
and procedures; and (3) preparing
causality statements. The respondents
provide the information requested
through a web-based Secure Ticket
Portal, in lieu of submitting forms. This
Portal allows VRs to retrieve reports,
and enter and submit information
electronically, minimizing the use of the
paper form to SSA for consideration and
approval of the claim for reimbursement
of costs incurred for SSA beneficiaries.
SSA uses the information on the SSA–
199, along with the written
documentation, to determine whether,
and how much, to pay State VR agencies
under SSA’s VR program. Respondents
are State VR agencies offering vocational
and employment services to Social
Security and SSI recipients.

404.914, 404.992(b), 416.1413–416.1414,
and 416.1492(d)—0960–0347. When
SSA determines: (1) Claimants for initial
disability benefits do not actually have
a disability; or (2) current disability
recipients’ records show their disability
ceased, SSA notifies the disability
claimants, or recipients of this decision.
In response to this notice, the affected
claimants and disability recipients have
the following recourse: (1) They may
request a disability hearing to contest
SSA’s decision; and (2) they may submit
additional information or evidence for
SSA to consider. Disability claimants,
recipients, and their representatives use
Form SSA–765 to accomplish these two
actions. If respondents request the first
option, SSA’s Disability Hearings Unit
uses the form to schedule a hearing;
ensure an interpreter is present, if
required; and ensure the disability
recipients or claimants, and their
representatives, receive a notice about
the place and time of the hearing. If
respondents choose the second option,
SSA uses the form and other evidence
to reevaluate the claimant’s or
recipients’ case, and determine if the
new information or evidence will
change SSA’s decision. The respondents
are disability claimants, current
disability recipients, or their
representatives.

8. Request for Change in Time/Place
of Disability Hearing—20 CFR
404.914(c)(2) and 416.1414(c)(2)—0960–
0348. At the request of the claimants or
their representatives, SSA schedules
evidentiary hearings at the
reconsideration level for claimants of
Title II benefits or Title XVI payments
when we deny their claims for
disability. When claimants or their
representatives find they are unable to
attend the scheduled hearing, they
complete Form SSA–769 to request a
change in time or place of the hearing.
SSA uses the information as a basis for
granting or denying requests for changes
and for rescheduling disability hearings.
Respondents are claimants or their
representatives who wish to request a
change in the time or place of their
hearing.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-
approved information collection.

9. Application for Supplemental
Security Income—20 CFR 416.305–
416.335, Subpart C—0960–0444. SSA
uses Form SSA–8001–BK to determine
an applicant’s eligibility for SSI and SSI
payment amounts. SSA employees also
collect this information during
interviews with members of the public
who wish to file for SSI. SSA uses the
information for two purposes: (1) To
formally deny SSI for nonmedical
reasons when information the applicant
provides results in ineligibility; or (2) to
establish a disability claim, but defer the
complete development of non-medical
issues until SSA approves the disability.
The respondents are applicants for SSI
payments.

10. Wage Reports and Pension
Information—20 CFR 422.122(b)—0960–
0547. Pension plan administrators
annually file plan information with the
Internal Revenue Service, which then
forwards the information to SSA. SSA
maintains and organizes this
information by plan number, plan
participant’s name, and Social Security
number. Under Section 1131(a) of the
Act, pension plan participants are
entitled to request this information from
SSA. The Wage Reports and Pension
Information regulation, 20 CFR
422.122(b) of the Code of Federal
Regulations, requires requestors submit
a written request with identifying
information to SSA, before SSA
disseminates this information. The
respondents are requestors of pension
plan information.

11. International Direct Deposit—31
CFR part 210—0960–0686. SSA’s
International Direct Deposit (IDD)
Program allows beneficiaries living
abroad to receive their payments via
direct deposit to an account at a
financial institution outside the United
States. SSA uses Form SSA–1199–
(Country) to enroll Title II beneficiaries
residing abroad in IDD, and to obtain
the direct deposit information for
foreign accounts. Routing account
number information varies slightly for
each foreign country, so we use a
variation of the Treasury Department’s
Form SF–1199A for each country. The
respondents are Social Security
beneficiaries residing abroad who want
SSA to deposit their Title II benefit
payments directly to a foreign financial
institution.

approved information collection.

12. Representative Payment Policies
and Administrative Procedures for
Imposing Penalties for False or
Misleading Statements or Withholding
of Information—0960–0740. This
information collection request
comprises several regulation sections
that provide additional safeguards for
Social Security beneficiaries’ whose
representative payees receive their
payment. SSA requires representative
payees to notify them of any event or
change in circumstances that would
affect receipt of benefits or performance
of payee duties. SSA uses the
information to determine continued
eligibility for benefits, the amount of
benefits due and if the payee is suitable
to continue servicing as payee. The
respondents are representative payees
who receive and use benefits on behalf
of Social Security beneficiaries.
Type of Collection: Revision of an
OMB-approved information collection.
