SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Request
The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law 104-13, the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice
includes revisions of OMB-approved information collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to
enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize burden
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. Mail, email, or fax your
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following
addresses or fax numbers.

The information collections below are pending at SSA. SSA will
submit them to OMB within 60 days from the date of this notice. To be
sure we consider your comments, we must receive them no later than July
8, 2013. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection instruments by
writing to the above email address.
1. Work Incentives Planning and Assistance Program--0960-0629. As
part of SSA's strategy to assist Social Security Disability Insurance
(SSDI)
[[Page 26844]]
beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients who
wish to return to work and achieve self-sufficiency, SSA established
the Work Incentives Planning and Assistance (WIPA) program. This
community-based, work incentive, planning and assistance project
collects identifying claimant information via project sites and
community work incentives coordinators (CWIC). SSA uses this
information to ensure proper management of the project, with particular
emphasis on administration, budgeting, and training. In addition,
project sites and CWICs collect data from SSDI beneficiaries and SSI
recipients on background employment, training, benefits, and work
incentives. SSA is interested in identifying SSDI beneficiary and SSI
recipient outcomes under the WIPA program to determine the extent to
which beneficiaries with disabilities and SSI recipients achieve their
employment, financial, and health-care goals. SSA will also use the
data in its analysis and future planning for SSDI and SSI programs.
Respondents are SSDI beneficiaries, SSI recipients, community project
sites, and employment advisors.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

2. Request to Withdraw a Hearing Request; Request to Withdraw an
Appeals Council Request for Review; and Administrative Review Process
for Adjudicating Initial Disability Claims--20 CFR Parts 404, 405, and
416--0960-0710. Claimants have a statutory right under the Social
Security Act and current regulations to apply for SSDI benefits or SSI.
SSA must collect information at each step of the administrative process
to adjudicate claims fairly and efficiently. SSA collects this
information to establish a claimant's right to administrative review
and the severity of the claimant's alleged impairments. SSA uses the
information to determine entitlement or continuing eligibility to
disability insurance benefits or SSI payments and to enable appeals of
these determinations. In addition, SSA collects information on Forms
HA-85 and HA-86 to allow claimants to withdraw a hearing request or an
Appeals Council review request. The respondents are applicants for
title II disability insurance benefits or title XVI SSI.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB- approved information
collection.
