SSA submitted the information
collection below to OMB for clearance.
Your comments regarding the
information collection would be most
useful if OMB and SSA receive them 30
days from the date of this publication.
To be sure we consider your comments,
we must receive them no later than
August 6, 2015. Individuals can obtain
copies of the OMB clearance package by

Security Administration to Obtain
Personal Information—20 CFR 404.704;
404.820—404.823; 404.1926; 416.203;
and 418.3001—0960—NEW. SSA
requests respondents fill out Form SSA–
8510, allowing SSA to contact a public
or private custodian of records on behalf
of an applicant or recipient of an SSA
program to request evidence
information, which may support a
benefit application or payment
continuation. We ask for evidence
information such as the following:
• Age requirements (e.g. birth
certificate, court documents)
• Insured status (e.g. earnings, employer
verification)
• Marriage or divorce information
• Pension offsets
• Wages verification
• Annuities
• Property information
Number of
respondents
Modality of completion
• Benefit verification from a State
agency or third party
• Immigration status (rare instances)
• Income verification from public
agencies or private individuals
• Unemployment benefits
• Insurance policies
If the custodian requires a signed
authorization from the individual(s)
whose information SSA requests, SSA
may provide the custodian with a copy
of the SSA–8510. Once the respondent
completes the SSA–8510, either using
the paper form, or using the Modernized
Supplemental Security Income Claims
System (MSSICS) version, SSA uses the
form as the authorization to obtain
personal information regarding the
respondent from third parties until the
authorizing person (respondent) revokes
the permission of its usage. The
collection is voluntary; however, failure
to verify the individuals’ eligibility can
prevent SSA from making an accurate
and timely decision for their benefits.
The respondents are individuals who
may file for, or currently receive, Social
Security benefits, SSI payments, or
Medicare part D subsidies.

Abstract of Proposed Collection
The Affidavit of Relationship (AOR)
will be required by the Department of
State to establish qualifications for
access to the Priority–3 (P–3) Family
Reunification category of the United
States Refugee Admissions Program
(USRAP) by persons of certain
nationalities who are family members of
qualifying ‘‘anchors’’ (persons already
admitted to the U.S. as refugees or who
were granted asylum in the United
States., including persons who may now
be lawful permanent residents or U.S.
citizens). Qualifying family members of
U.S.-based anchors include spouse,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
unmarried children under age 21, and
parents. Eligible nationalities are
determined on an annual basis
following careful review of several
factors, including the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees’
annual assessment of refugees in need of
resettlement, prospective or ongoing
repatriation efforts, and U.S. foreign
policy interests. The P–3 category, along
with the other categories of cases that
have access to USRAP, is outlined in the
annual Proposed Refugee Admissions—
Report to Congress, which is submitted
on behalf of the President in fulfillment
of the requirements of section 207(d) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (8
U.S.C. 1157), and authorized by the
annual Presidential Determination for
Refugee Admissions. Having an AOR
filed on a potential applicant’s behalf by
an eligible anchor relative will be one of
the criteria for access to this program.
The AOR also informs the anchor
relative that DNA evidence of all
claimed parent-child relationships
between the anchor relative and parents
and/or unmarried children under 21
will be required as a condition of access
to P–3 processing and that the costs will
be borne by the anchor relative or his/
her family members who may apply for
access to refugee processing, or their
derivative beneficiaries, as the case may
be. Successful applicants may be
eligible for reimbursement of DNA test
costs.
Methodology
This information collection currently
involves the limited use of electronic
techniques. Anchors in the United
States may visit any resettlement agency
throughout the United States to
complete the AOR. Resettlement
agencies are organizations that work
under a cooperative agreement with the
Department of State. In order to file an
AOR, an individual must be at least 18
years of age and have been admitted to
the United States as a refugee or granted
asylum in the United States no more
than five years prior to the filing of the
AOR. The DS–7656 form will be
available electronically and responses
will be completed electronically with
the aid of resettlement agency staff.
Completed AORs will be printed out for
ink signature by the respondents and
will be scanned and submitted
electronically to the Refugee Processing
Center (RPC) by the resettlement
agencies for downloading into the
Worldwide Refugee Admissions
Processing System (WRAPS) for data
entry and case processing. A signed
paper copy of the AOR will remain with
resettlement agencies.

anchors include spouse, unmarried children under age 21, and parents.
Eligible nationalities are determined on an annual basis following
careful review of several factors, including the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees' annual assessment of refugees in need of
resettlement, prospective or ongoing repatriation efforts, and U.S.
foreign policy interests. The P-3 category, along with the other
categories of cases that have access to USRAP, is outlined in the

the United States as a refugee or granted asylum in the United States
no more than five years prior to the filing of the AOR. The DS-7656
