SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

Agency Information Collection

Activities; Emergency Consideration

Request

In compliance with Public Law 104–

13, the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995, the Social Security

Administration (SSA) is providing

notice of its information collections that

require submission to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB). SSA is

requesting emergency consideration

from OMB by July 12, 2000, of the

information collections listed below.

1. Representative Payee ReportSpecial Veterans Benefits-0960-NEW.

The information collected on form SSA–

2001 is used to determine whether

payments certified to the representative

payee have been used properly and

whether the representative payee

continues to demonstrate strong concern

for the beneficiary’s best interests. The

form will be completed annually by all

representative payees receiving special

veterans benefits (SVB) payments on

behalf of beneficiaries outside the

United States. It will also be required at

anytime SSA has reason to believe that

the representative payee could be

misusing the payments. Respondents

are representative payees of veterans

receiving SVB Payments under title VIII.

Number of Respondents: 200

Frequency of Response: 1

Average Burden Per Response: 10

minutes

Estimated Annual Burden: 33 hours

Background Information

In November 1999, Congress passed

the Foster Care Independence Act, and

on December 14, 1999, the President

signed it into law (Pub. L. 106–169). An

important part of this legislation,

section 251, creates a new title VIII of

the Social Security Act. Title VIII

provides for a program of special

benefits for certain World War II

veterans.

As a part of the title VIII

administration, Section 807(a) of PL

106–169, also provides that, if the Social

Security Administration determines that

it is not in the best interest of the

beneficiary to receive benefits directly,

payments may be certified to a relative,

another person or an organization

interested in or concerned about the

welfare of the beneficiary. These

individuals or organizations are called

representative payees.

You can obtain a copy of the

collection instruments and/or OMB

clearance packages by calling the SSA

Reports Clearance Officer on (410) 965–

4145, or by writing to him.
