8. Electronic Records Express—20 

CFR 404.1512 and 416.912—0960–0753. 

Electronic Records Express (ERE) is a 

Web-based SSA program which allows 

medical and educational providers to 

electronically submit disability claimant 

data to SSA. Both medical providers 

and other third parties with connections 

to disability applicants or recipients 

(e.g., teachers and school administrators 

for child disability applicants) use this 

system once they complete the 

registration process. SSA employees and 

State agency employees request the 

medical and educational records 

collected through the ERE website. The 

agency uses the information collected 

through ERE to make a determination on 

an Application for Benefits. We also use 

the ERE website to order and receive 

consultative examinations when we are 

unable to collect enough medical 

records to determine disability findings. 

The respondents are medical providers 

who evaluate or treat disability 

claimants or recipients, and other third 

parties with connections to disability 

applicants or recipients (e.g., teachers 

and school administrators for child 

disability applicants), who voluntarily 

choose to use ERE for submitting 

information. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The Refugee Biographic Data Sheet 

describes a refugee applicant’s personal 

characteristics and is needed to initiate 

refugee resettlement processing, 

adjudicate the refugee applicant’s 

application for admission to the United 

States, to run security checks on 

refugees by intelligence and federal law 

enforcement agencies, to conduct 

medical screenings, and to plan 

international travel before a refugee 

applicant can be permitted to travel to 

the United States. In addition, the 

information is used to match the refugee 

with a sponsoring voluntary agency for 

initial reception and placement in the 

U.S. under the United States Refugee 

Admissions Program administered by 

the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and 

Migration. 

The information collected includes 

date and place of birth, gender, contact 

information, including social media 

handles, marital status, family ties, 

religion, ethnic group, background, 

education, occupation, skills, medical 

information, English language ability, 

associated family members’ refugee 

resettlement cases, and identity 

documents. The data is used to initiate 

refugee resettlement processing, to 

adjudicate the refugee claim by USCIS, 

to run security checks on refugees by 

the federal law enforcement and 

intelligence community before refugees 

can be permitted to travel to the United 

States. Data is also provided to conduct 

a medical screening before the refugee’s 

arrival in the United States, to plan the 

refugee’s international travel, and to 

resettlement agencies to determine an 

appropriate resettlement location in the 

United States. If the data were not 

collected, refugees could not be 

properly vetted by the federal law 

enforcement and intelligence 

community, and therefore refugee 

applicants could no longer be processed 

through the U.S. Refugee Admissions 

Program. In addition, the resettlement 

agencies would not be able to provide 

appropriate initial reception and 

placement services as provided for in 

the Refugee Act. 

Methodology 

Biographic information is collected in 

a face-to-face intake process with the 

applicant overseas. An employee of a 

Resettlement Support Center, under 

cooperative agreement with PRM, 

collects the information and enters it 

into the Worldwide Refugee Admissions 

Processing System.

Director.
