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 02/16/2000 of the

information collections listed below.

1. Request to be Selected as Payee—

0960–0014. The information collected

on Form SSA–11–BK is used to

determine the proper payee for a Social

Security beneficiary, and it is designed

to aid in the investigation of a payee

applicant. The form will establish the

applicant’s relationship to the

beneficiary, the justification, the

concern for the beneficiary and the

manner in which the benefits will be

used. The respondents are applicants for

selection as representative payee for Old

Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance

(OASDI), Supplemental Security Income

(SSI), Black Lung benefits and title-VIII

Special Veterans Benefits.

Number of Respondents: 2,121,686.

Frequency of Response: 1.

Average Burden Per Response: 10.5

minutes.

Estimated Annual Burden: 371,295

hours.

2. Application for Special Benefits for

World War II Veterans–0960–NEW. The

information collected on Form SSA–

2000 will be used by the Social Security

Administration to elicit the information

necessary to determine entitlement of an

individual to benefits under title VIII of

the Social Security Act. Respondents are

certain World War II Veterans as

identified under title VIII.

Number of Respondents: 12,000.

Frequency of Response: 1.

Average Burden Per Response: 20

minutes.

Estimated Annual Burden: 4,000

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, which is a new

program for SSA to administer. Title

VIII provides for a program of special

benefits for certain World War II

veterans as defined below:

Veterans of the U.S. military and the

organized military forces of the Philippines

(while in the service of the U.S. Armed

Forces) during World War II, who are age 65

or older on or before December 14, 1999 and

who are eligible for SSI benefits in both the

month of enactment and the month of

application for the Special Veterans Benefit

(SVB), and whose total benefit income is less

than the title VIII benefit amount, are entitled

to a title VIII benefit for each month the

individual resides outside the United States.

The law provides that an individual

who meets all statutory requirements

will be entitled to title VIII benefits

beginning with October 2000, or such

earlier month that the Commissioner

determines is administratively feasible.

In recognition of the stated desire of

many foreign-born potential applicants

for special benefits under SVB to return

to their homelands, SSA is targeting its

implementation efforts to begin

payments as early as May 2000.

Accordingly SSA has revised the

SSA–11–BK, Request to be Selected as

Payee, to include payee applicants

under title VIII, and has developed the

new SSA–2000, Application for Special

Benefits for World War II Veterans, in

order to administer the title VIII

program.

collection instruments and/or OMB
