SSA seeks comments on proposed information gathering activities

The Social Security Administration is soliciting comments from the public regarding certain forms and information gathering activities prior to their submission for clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as well as for one item that already has been submitted to the OMB for approval.

Specifically, the SSA wants feedback on the need for the information solicited and its practical utility; the accuracy of the agency's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the manner in which the information is collected; and ways to minimize the burden on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

The forms and information gathering activities for which comments are sought are listed in a notice in the June 6, 2016, Federal Register (81 Fed. Reg. 36373). Comments may be mailed or faxed to the addresses and numbers listed in that notice.

Comments due by July 6, 2016

Comments are due by July 6, 2016, for the following item, which already has been submitted to the OMB for approval: Waiver of Supplemental Security Income Payment Continuation (SSA-263-U2).

Comments due by August 5, 2016

Comments are due by August 5, 2016, for the following items, which have not yet been submitted to the OMB for approval: Waiver of Your Right to Personal Appearance before an Administrative Law Judge (HA-4608) and Letter to Custodian of Birth Records/Letter to Custodian of School Records (SSA-L706/SSA-L106).
