SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submissions for OMB
Review
This notice lists information collection packages that have been
sent to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance, in
compliance with Pub. L. 104-13 effective October 1, 1995, The Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
1. Government Pension Questionnaire--0960-0160. The Social Security
Act and Regulations provide that an individual receiving spouse's
benefits and concurrently receiving a Government pension, based on the
individual's own earnings, may have the Social Security benefit amount
reduced by two-thirds of the pension amount. The data collected on Form
SSA-3885 is used by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to
determine if the individual's Social Security benefit will be reduced,
the amount of reduction, the effective date of the reduction and if one
of the exceptions in 20 CFR 404.408a applies. The respondents are
individuals who are receiving (or will receive) Social Security
spouse's benefits and also receive their own Government pension.
Number of Respondents: 76,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden Per Response: 12.5 minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 15,833 hours.
2. Telephone Replacement Card Interview Script--0960-0570. SSA will
conduct a pilot study by telephone to obtain information from
individuals who need a duplicate Social Security Number (SSN) card. The
information collected will be used to properly identify an individual
prior to releasing a replacement SSN card, thus eliminating the need
for the respondent to take or mail his/her identity documents to a
Social Security office. The information provided, which should be known
by the true Social Security number holder, will be compared to
information available in our current electronic systems. The
respondents are U.S. Citizens applying for a replacement SSN card.
Number of Respondents: 100,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden Per Response: 4 minutes.
Estimated Average Burden: 6,667 hours.
3. Reconsideration Report for Disability Cessation--0960-0350. Form
SSA-782-BK will be used by claimants and SSA field offices to document
new developments on the claimant's condition (as perceived by the
claimant), since the prior continuing disability interview was
conducted. The form will also be used by the SSA interviewer to provide
his/her observations of the claimant. The respondents are claimants for
Old-Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security
Income, who file a Request for Reconsideration--Disability Cessation.
Number of Respondents: 100,000.
Frequency of Response: 1.
Average Burden Per Response: 30 minutes.
Estimated Average Burden: 50,000 hours.
