SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Collection

Requests

This notice lists information

collection packages that will require

submission to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB), in compliance with

Public Law 104–13 effective October 1,

1995, The Paperwork Reduction Act of

1995.

1. Electronic Request for Replacement

SSA–1099/SSA–1042—0960–NEW. The

information requested will be used by

the Social Security Administration

(SSA) to provide replacement copies of

Forms SSA–1099/SSA–1042 needed to

prepare Federal tax returns. Over

700,000 requests are received annually

for replacement forms from Social

Security beneficiaries by SSA field

offices and teleservice centers. We

intend to offer the public the option to

use the Internet to request that SSA mail

to them a replacement SSA–1099/SSA–

1042, eliminating the need for a phone

call to a teleservice center or a visit to

a field office. The respondents are Title

II Social Security beneficiaries.

Number of Respondents: 7,000.

Frequency of Response: 1.

Average Burden Per Response: 5

minutes.

Estimated Annual Burden: 583 hours.

2. Discrimination Complaint Form—

0960–NEW. The information collected

on form SSA–437 will be used by SSA

to investigate and informally resolve

complaints of discrimination based on

race, color, national origin, sex, age,

religion and retaliation in any program

or activity conducted by SSA. A person

who believes that he or she has been

discriminated against on any of the

above bases may file a written

complaint of discrimination. The

information will be used to identify the

complainant; identify the alleged

discriminatory act; ascertain the date of

the alleged act; obtain the identity of the

individual(s)/facility/component that

allegedly discriminated; and ascertain

other relevant information that would

assist in the investigation and resolution

of the complaints. The respondents are

individuals who allege discrimination

on the grounds described above.

Number of Respondents: 250.

Frequency of Response: 1.

Average Burden Per Response: 1 hour.

Estimated Annual Burden: 250 hours.

3. Beneficiary Recontact Report—

0960–0536. SSA uses the information

collected on form SSA–1587–OCR–SM

to ensure that eligibility for benefits

continues after entitlement is

established for children ages 15 through

17. Studies show that children who

marry fail to report the marriage (which

is a terminating event). SSA asks

children ages 15, 16 and 17 information

about marital status to detect

overpayments and to avoid continuing

payments to those no longer entitled.

The respondents are applicants for Title

II benefits, ages 15 through 17.

Number of Respondents: 835,492.

Frequency of Response: 1.

Average Burden Per Response: 3

minutes.

Estimated Annual Burden: 41,775

hours.

4. Waiver of Right to Appear,

Disability Hearing—0960–0534. Form

SSA–773–U4 is used by claimants to

request waiver of their right to appear at

a disability hearing. The information

collected will be used to document that

claimants understand their right to

appear and the effects of their decision

to waive that right. The respondents are

claimants who wish to waive their right

to appear at a disability hearing, under

Titles II and XVI of the Social Security

Act.

Number of Respondents: 194.
