SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

[Docket No: SSA-2015-0012]


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.

(OMB)

    Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA, Fax: 
202-395-6974, Email address: [email protected].

(SSA)

    Social Security Administration, OLCA, Attn: Reports Clearance 
Director, 3100 West High Rise, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 
21235, Fax: 410-966-2830, Email address: [email protected].
    Or you may submit your comments online through www.regulations.gov, 
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA-2015-0008].
    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 May 
18, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection instruments 
by writing to the above email address.
    1. Application for Supplemental Security Income--20 CFR 416.305-
416.335, Subpart C--0960-0444. SSA uses Form SSA-8001-BK to determine 
an applicant's eligibility for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and 
SSI payment amounts. SSA employees also collect this information during 
interviews with members of the public who wish to file for SSI. SSA 
uses the information for two purposes: (1) To formally deny SSI for 
non-medical reasons when information the applicant provides results in 
ineligibility; or (2) to establish a disability claim, but defer the 
complete development of non-medical issues until SSA approves the 
disability. The respondents are applicants for SSI.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    2. Statement of Reclamation Action--31 CFR 210--0960-0734. 
Regulations governing the Federal Government Participation in the 
Automated Clearing House (1) allow SSA to send Social Security payments 
to Canada, and (2) mandate the reclamation of funds paid erroneously to 
a Canadian bank or financial institution after the death of a Social 
Security beneficiary. SSA uses Form SSA-1713, Notice of Reclamation 
Action, to determine if, how, and when the Canadian bank or financial 
institution will return erroneous payments after the death of a Social 
Security beneficiary who elected to have payments sent to Canada. Form 
SSA-1712 (or SSA-1712 CN), Notice of Reclamation-Canada Payment Made in 
the United States, is the cover sheet SSA prepares to request return of 
the payment. The respondents are Canadian banks and financial 
institutions who erroneously received Social Security payments.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
