authorize payment of the lump sum 

death payment (LSDP) to a widow, 

widower, or children as defined in 

section 202(i) of the Social Security Act. 

Respondents complete the application 

for this one-time payment via paper 

form, telephone, or an in-person

404.339–341, and 404.348–404.349— 

0960–0019. SSA uses Form SSA–781 to 

determine if non-custodial parents who 

are filing for spouse’s or mother’s and 

father’s benefits based on having a child 

in their care meet the in-care 

requirements. Respondents are 

applicants for spouse’s and/or mother’s 

and father’s benefits.

3. Supplemental Statement Regarding 

Farming Activities of Person Living 

Outside the U.S.A.—0960–0103. SSA 

uses Form SSA–7163A to document 

beneficiary or claimant reports of 

working on a farm outside the United 

States (U.S.). Specifically, the 

information provided on this form helps 

us to determine if we should apply 

foreign work deductions to the 

recipient’s benefits. We collect the 

information either annually or every 

other year, depending on the 

respondent’s country of residence. 

Respondents are Social Security 

recipients engaged in farming activities 

outside the U.S. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 1,000.

416.1416(c), 405 Subpart C, 422.140— 

0960–0144. SSA requires disability 

claimants who are appealing an 

unfavorable disability determination to 

complete Form SSA–3441–BK. This 

form allows claimants to disclose any 

changes to their disability or resources 

that might influence SSA’s unfavorable 

determination. SSA may use the 

information to: (1) Reconsider and 

review an initial disability 

determination; (2) review a continuing 

disability; and (3) evaluate a request for 

a hearing. This information assists the 

State Disability Determination Services 

and administrative law judges (ALJ) in: 

(1) Preparing for the appeals and 

hearings; and (2) issuing a 

determination or decision on an 

individual’s entitlement (initial or 

continuing) to disability benefits. 

Respondents are individuals who 

appeal denial, reduction, or cessation of 

Social Security disability income and 

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

payments, or who are requesting a 

hearing before an ALJ.

405.722, 418.1350—0960–0269. When 

SSA denies applicants’ or beneficiaries’ 

requests for new or continuing benefits, 

those applicants/beneficiaries are 

entitled to request a hearing to appeal 

the decision. SSA uses Form HA–501 to 

document such requests. Although SSA 

collects this information, the actual 

hearings take place before ALJs 

employed by the Department of Health 

and Human Services (HHS). The 

respondents are: (1) Applicants for or 

current recipients of various Social 

Security benefits who want to appeal 

SSA’s denial of their requests for new or 

continued benefits; and (2) Medicare 

Part B recipients whom SSA has 

determined must pay the Medicare Part 

B Income-Related Monthly Adjustment 

Amount, both of whom wish to appeal 

this decision at a hearing before an HHS 

ALJ.

6. Information about Joint Checking/ 

Savings Accounts—20 CFR 416.120, 

416.1208—0960–0461. SSA considers a 

person’s resources when evaluating 

eligibility for SSI payments. Generally, 

we consider funds in checking and 

savings accounts to be resources owned 

by the individuals whose names appear 

on the account. Individuals applying for 

SSI, however, may rebut an assumption 

of ownership in a joint account if they 

submit certain evidence establishing the 

funds do not belong to them. SSA uses 

Form SSA–2574 to collect information 

from SSI applicants/recipients who 

object to the assumption they own all or 

part of the funds in a joint checking or 

savings account bearing their names. 

SSA collects information about the 

account from both the SSI applicant/ 

recipient and other account holder(s). 

After receiving the completed form, SSA 

can determine if we should consider the 

account to be a resource for the SSI 

payments applicant/recipient. The 

respondents are applicants and 

recipients of SSI and individuals who 

list themselves as joint owners of 

financial accounts with SSI applicants/ 

recipients.

7. Request for Earnings and Benefit 

Estimate Statement—20 CFR 404.810— 

0960–0466. SSA uses the information 

collected by Form SSA–7004 to identify 

respondents’ Social Security earnings 

records, extract posted earnings 

information, calculate potential benefit 

estimates, produce the resulting Social 

Security statements, and mail them to 

the requesters. The respondents are 

Social Security number holders 

requesting information about their 

Social Security earnings records and 

estimates of their potential benefits.

8. Beneficiary Recontact Form—20 

CFR 404.703, 404.705—0960–0502. SSA 

must ensure that recipients of disability 

payments continue to be eligible for 

their payments. Research has indicated 

benefit recipients may fail to report 

circumstances that affect their benefits. 

Two such cases are: (1) When parents 

receiving disability benefits for their 

child marry; and (2) the removal of an 

entitled child from parents’ care. SSA 

uses Form SSA–1588–OCR–SM to ask 

mothers/fathers about their marital 

status and children in care to detect 

overpayments and avoid continuing 

payment to those are no longer entitled. 

Respondents are recipients of mother/ 

father Social Security benefits.

9. Complaint Form for Allegations of 

Discrimination in Programs or Activities 

Conducted by the Social Security 

Administration—0960–0585. SSA uses 

Form SSA–437 to investigate and 

formally resolve complaints of 

discrimination based on disability, race, 

color, national origin (including limited 

English proficiency), sex, sexual 

orientation, age, religion, or retaliation 

for having participated in a proceeding 

under this administrative complaint 

process in connection with an SSA 

program or activity. SSA also uses this 

form to review, investigate, and resolve 

complaints alleging discrimination 

based on status as a parent in education, 

training programs, or activities 

conducted by SSA. Individuals who 

believe SSA discriminated against them 

on any of the above bases may file a 

written complaint of discrimination. 

SSA uses the information to identify the 

complainant; identify the alleged 

discriminatory act; ascertain the date of 

such alleged act; obtain the identity of 

any individual(s) with information 

about the alleged discrimination; and 

ascertain other relevant information that 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

9994 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 42 / Thursday, March 4, 2010 / Notices 

would assist in the investigation and 

resolution of the complaint. 

Respondents are individuals who 

believe SSA or SSA employees, 

contractors, or agents in programs or 

activities conducted by SSA 

discriminated against them. 

Type of Request: Extension of an 

OMB-approved information collection.

11. SSI Telephone Wage Reporting 

System (SSITWR)—20 CFR 416.701– 

0732—0960–0715. SSA requires SSI 

recipients to report changes that could 

affect their eligibility for and the 

amount of their SSI payments, such as 

changes in income, resources, and living 

arrangements. The SSITWR, formerly 

the Statement for SSI Monthly Wage 

Reporting (Telephone), enables SSI 

recipients to meet these requirements by 

providing them with a fully automated 

mechanism to report their monthly 

wages by telephone, instead of 

contacting their local field offices. The 

SSITWR allows callers to report their 

wages either by speaking their responses 

through voice recognition technology, or 

by keying in responses using the 

telephone key pad. To ensure the 

security of the information provided, 

SSITWR asks callers to provide 

information SSA can compare against 

its records for authentication purposes. 

Once the system authenticates the 

identity of the callers, the callers can 

speak or key in their wage data. The 

respondents are SSI recipients, deemors, 

and representative payees of recipients.

12. Treating Physician Consultative 

Examination Interest Form—20 CFR 

404.1519g—20 CFR 404.1519i—0960– 

0751. When an applicant for Social 

Security disability benefits has not 

consulted a physician for a specified 

period preceding the application, SSA 

will ask the applicant to complete a 

consultative examination (CE). If the 

applicant has a treating physician (TP), 

SSA sends a medical evidence of record 

request letter and Form SSA–84 to the 

applicant’s TP; the TP completes the 

latter form and returns it to SSA to 

indicate interest in conducting the CE. 

If the TP does not return the form, SSA 

assumes the TP is not interested in 

performing the CE. Respondents are 

disability benefits applicants’ treating 

physicians. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

13. Claimant Travel Reimbursement 

Request—20 CFR 404.999a–20 CFR 

404.99c—0960–0752. SSA sends Form 

SSA–104 to Social Security benefits 

recipients with a CE appointment 

notice. To receive reimbursement for 

their travel expenses to the CE, 

recipients must: (1) Submit an itemized 

list of expenditures for their round trip; 

and (2) complete, sign, and return the 

SSA–104 to SSA. SSA collects this 

information to determine the amount of 

reimbursement. Respondents are 

applicants for disability claims applying 

for reimbursement of travel expenses to 

a CE. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 11,092.

II. SSA has submitted the information 

collections listed below to OMB for 

clearance. Your comments on the 

information collections would be most 

useful if OMB and SSA receive them 

within 30 days from the date of this 

publication. To be sure we consider 

your comments, we must receive them 

no later than April 5, 2010. You can 

obtain a copy of the OMB clearance 

packages by calling the SSA Director for 

Reports Clearance at 410–965–0454 or 

by writing to the above e-mail address. 

1. Farm Self-Employment 

Questionnaire—20 CFR 404.1082(c) & 

404.1095—0960–0061. Section 211(a) of 

the Social Security Act requires the 

existence of a trade or business as a 

prerequisite for determining if an 

individual or partnership can claim net 

earnings from self-employment. During 

a personal interview, the requesting 

Social Security field office uses Form 

SSA–7165 to elicit the information 

necessary to establish the existence of 

an agricultural trade or business and 

subsequent covered earnings for Social 

Security entitlement purposes. The 

respondents are applicants for Social 

Security benefits whose entitlement 

depends on whether the worker has 

covered earnings from self-employment 

as a farmer. 

Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. 

Number of Respondents: 47,500. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Average Burden Per Response: 10

2. Statement for Determining 

Continuing Eligibility Supplemental 

Security Income Payment—20 CFR 

416.204—0960–0145. SSA uses the 

information from Form SSA–8202–BK 

to conduct low- and middle-errorprofile (LEP–MEP) telephone or face-toface redetermination (RZ) interviews 

with SSI recipients and representative 

payees. The information SSA collects 

during the interview is needed to 

determine whether SSI recipients have 

met and continue to meet all statutory 

and regulatory requirements for SSI 

eligibility and whether they have been, 

and are still receiving, the correct 

payment amount. 

Note: SSA published this information 

collection with the incorrect burden

3. Claimant Statement About Loan of 

Food or Shelter; Statement About Food 

or Shelter Provided to Another—20 CFR 

416.1130–416.1148—0960–0529. SSA 

uses Forms SSA–5062 and SSA–L5063 

to obtain statements about food and/or 

shelter provided to SSI claimants or 

recipients. SSA uses this information to 

determine whether food and/or shelter 

are bona fide loans or if SSA should 

count them as income for SSI purposes. 

This determination can affect a claimant 

or recipient’s eligibility for SSI and the 

amount of SSI payments. The 

respondents are claimants and 

recipients for SSI payments and 

individuals who provide loans of food 

or shelter to them.

purposes can generally receive State 

benefits. States complete Form SSA–512 

to request clarification from SSA on 

questionable QC information. 

Specifically, States use this form to 

request QC information for an alien’s 

spouse or child in cases where the alien 

does not sign a consent form giving 

permission to access his/her Social 

Security records. We can allocate QCs to 

a spouse and/or to a child under age 18, 

if needed, to obtain 40 qualifying QCs 

for the alien. The respondents are State 

agencies that require QC information to 

determine eligibility for benefits. 

Note: This is a correction notice. SSA 

published this information collection with 

the incorrect burden information on 

December 28, 2009 at 74 FR 68655. In 

addition, since we are revising the Privacy 

Act Statement, this is now a revision of an 

OMB-approved information collection.

404.2035, 404.2065, 416.665, 416.701, 

and 416.708—0960–0633. SSA asks 

organizational representative payees to 

complete Form SSA–637, Site Review 

Questionnaire for Volume and Fee-forService Payees, to provide information 

on how they carry out their 

representative payee responsibilities, 

including how they manage beneficiary 

funds. SSA then obtains information 

from the beneficiaries these 

organizations represent via the SSA– 

639, Beneficiary Interview Form, to 

corroborate the payees’ statements. Due 

to the sensitivity of the information, 

SSA employees always complete the 

forms based on the answers respondents 

give during the interview. The

6. Direct Deposit Sign-Up Form 

(Country)—31 CFR 210—0960–0686. 

SSA’s International Direct Deposit 

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 to 

obtain the direct deposit information for 

such 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 benefits payments 

directly to a foreign financial 

institution.

7. Certification of Prisoner Identity 

Information—20 CFR 422.107—0960–

when a valid agreement is in place, 

prison officials may verify the identity 

of certain incarcerated U.S. citizens who 

need replacement Social Security cards. 

Information the prison officials provide 

will come from the official prison files, 

sent on prison letterhead. SSA uses this 

information to establish the applicant’s 

identity in the replacement Social 

Security card process. The respondents 

are prison officials who certify the 

identities of prisoners applying for 

replacement Social Security cards.

strongly encouraged to read both RFGPs 

thoroughly, prior to developing and 

submitting proposals, to ensure that 

proposed activities are appropriate and

criteria outlined in the solicitations.

increase mutual understanding and 

build relationships, through individuals
