Supplemental Security Income (SSI) applicants, recipients, or their representative payees must report any change in circumstances that could affect eligibility for SSI payments or the payment amount. SSA uses Form SSA– 8150 for this purpose. The information assists us in determining if we should continue SSI payments or change a payment amount. The respondents are applicants for or recipients of SSI payments, or their representative payees. Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. Number of Respondents: 27,320.

Claimants may request Appeals Council review by filing a written request using Form HA–520. SSA uses the information to establish the claimant filed her or his request for review within the prescribed time and to ensure the claimant completed the requisite steps permitting the Appeals Council review. The Appeals Council uses the information to: (1) Document the claimant’s reason(s) for disagreeing with the ALJ’s decision or dismissal; (2) determine whether the claimant has additional evidence to submit; and (3) determine whether the claimant has a representative or wants to appoint one. The respondents are claimants requesting review of an ALJ’s decision or dismissal of hearing. Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection. Number of Respondents: 145,000.

State Disability Determination Services (DDS) must determine if Social Security disability payment recipients, whose disability ceased and who participate in vocational rehabilitation programs, may continue to receive disability payments. To do this, DDSs need information about the recipients, the types of program participation, and the services they receive under the rehabilitation program.

Claimants complete the form to acknowledge they will attend the hearing or to request the ALJ reschedule the hearing. The ALJ uses the information to prepare for the scheduled hearing or to reschedule the hearing to a different date or location. The only difference between the two forms is the exclusion of the video teleconferencing option on the HA–504–OP1.
