4. Modified Benefit Formula
Questionnaire—0960–0395. SSA
collects information on Form SSA–150
to determine which formula to use in
computing the Social Security benefit
for someone who receives a pension
from employment not covered by Social
Security. The Windfall Elimination
Provision (WEP) requires use of a
benefit formula replacing a smaller
percentage of a worker’s pre-retirement
earnings. However, the resulting amount
cannot show a difference in the benefit
computed using the modified and
regular formulas greater than one-half
the amount of the pension received in
the first month an individual is entitled
to both the pension and the Social
Security benefit. The SSA–150 collects
the information needed to make all the
necessary benefit computations. SSA
requires the respondents to furnish the
information on Form SSA–150 so we
can calculate their benefits using the
data they supply. SSA calculates the
benefits of applicants who do not
respond to this questionnaire using the
full WEP reduction. SSA employees
collect this information once from the
applicants at the time they file their
claim. The respondents are applicants
for old age and disability benefits.

5. Employee Identification
Statement—20 CFR 404.702—0960–
0473. When two or more individuals
report earnings under the same SSN,
SSA collects information on Form SSA–
4156 to credit the earnings to the correct
individual and SSN. We send the SSA–
4156 to the employer to: (1) Identify the
employees involved; (2) resolve the
discrepancy, and (3) credit the earnings
to the correct SSN. The respondents are
employers involved in erroneous wage
reporting for an employee.

Abstract of Proposed Collection
Since 2002, MEPI has obligated more
than $800 million to over 725
organizations, which carry out more
than 1,000 projects in support of
political, economic, education and
women’s rights reform in 20 countries of
the Middle East and North Africa. As a
normal course of business and in
compliance with 22 U.S.C. 2395(b) and
OMB Guidelines contained in Circular
A–110, recipient organizations are
required to provide, and the U.S. State
Department is required to collect,
periodic program and financial
performance reports. The responsibility
of the State Department to track and
monitor the programmatic and financial
performance necessitates a database that
can help facilitate this in a consistent
and standardized manner. The MEPI
Performance Reporting System (PRS)
enables enhanced monitoring and
evaluation of grants through
standardized collection and storage of
relevant award elements, such as
quarterly progress reports, workplans,
results monitoring plans, grant
agreements, financial reports, and other
business information related to MEPI
implementers. The PRS streamlines
communication with implementers and
allows for rapid identification of
information gaps for specific projects.
Methodology
Information will be entered into PRS
electronically by respondents.
