Sections 217(a) through (e) of the Social 

Security Act provide for the crediting of 

military service before 1957 to the wage 

earner’s record. This form collects 

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 

Federal benefit. This data is then used 

in the claims adjudication process to 

grant gratuitous military wage credits 

when applicable. This form is used to 

solicit sufficient information to make a 

determination of eligibility. 

Respondents are applicants for Social 

Security benefits on a record where the

whether the individual receives in-kind 

support and maintenance. This is 

necessary to determine eligibility for SSI

used only when it is necessary to 

document in-kind support and 

maintenance and only in cases where

Abstract of proposed collection: The 

President has asked the interagency 

community to use the temporary 

transfer of power from Fidel Castro to 

his brother Raul Castro in August 2006 

as an historic moment to work to 

encourage a democratic transition in 

Cuba. In keeping with the 

recommendations of the Commission for 

Assistance to a Free Cuba report, the 

State Department will seek information 

from the public about human rights 

abuses committed by Cuban authorities, 

including the military and members of 

the security forces. The information is 

sought in accordance with, inter alia, 22 

U.S.C. 2656 and 2304(a)(1). The 

principal purpose for collecting the 

information is to prepare and maintain 

a database of human rights abusers in 

Cuba. 

The Department may use this 

information in connection with its 

responsibilities for the protection and 

promotion of human rights and for the 

conduct of foreign affairs, as well as for 

other appropriate purposes as a routine 

part of the Department’s activities. 

Methodology: Information will be 

collected through electronic submission. 

Additional Information: None. 

Dated: January 5, 2007.
