1. Program Discrimination Complaint--0960-0585. SSA collects
information on Form SSA-437 to investigate and formally resolve
complaints of discrimination based on disability, race, color, national
origin (including limited English language proficiency), sex (including
sexual orientation and gender identity), age, religion, or retaliation
for having participated in a proceeding under this administrative
complaint process in connection with an SSA program or activity.
Individuals who believe SSA discriminated against them on any of the
above bases may file a written complaint of discrimination. SSA uses
the information to (1) identify the complaint; (2) identify the alleged
discriminatory act; (3) establish the date of such alleged action; (4)
establish the identity of any individual(s) with information about the
alleged discrimination; and (5) establish other relevant information
that would assist in the investigation and resolution of the complaint.
Respondents are individuals who believe an SSA program or activity, or
SSA employees, contractors or agents discriminated against them.

2. Work Incentives Planning and Assistance Program--0960-0629. As
part of SSA's strategy to assist Social Security Disability Insurance
(SSDI) 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.
