Section 205(a) of the Act requires SSA to verify the identity of individuals who request a record or information pertaining to themselves, and to establish procedures for disclosing personal information. SSA established Screen Pop, an automated telephone process, to increase speed of verification for such individuals. Accessing Screen Pop, callers enter their Social Security number (SSN) using their telephone keypad or speech technology prior to speaking with a National 800 Number Network (N8NN) agent. The automated Screen Pop application collects the SSN and routes it to the ‘‘Start New Call’’ Customer Help and Information (CHIP) screen. Functionality for the Screen Pop application ends once the SSN connects to the CHIP screen and the SSN routes to the agent’s screen. When the call connects to the N8NN agent, the agent can use the SSN to access the caller’s record as needed. The respondents for this collection are individuals who contact SSA’s N8NN to speak with an agent. Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

Section 205(a) of the Act gives the Commissioner of SSA the authority to make rules and regulations, and to establish procedures for collecting evidence from individuals applying for Social Security benefits. When individuals apply for Social Security benefits and cannot provide preferred methods of proving age or citizenship, SSA uses Form SSA–702 to establish these facts. Specifically, SSA uses the SSA–702 to establish age as a factor of entitlement to Social Security benefits or U.S. citizenship as a payment factor.

The MMA of 2003 established the Medicare Part D program for voluntary prescription drug coverage of premium, deductible, and copayment costs for certain low-income individuals. The MMA also mandated the provision of subsidies for those individuals who qualify for the program and who meet eligibility criteria for help with premium, deductible, or copayment costs.

Help America Vote Act—0960– 0706. House Rule 3295, the Help America Vote Act of 2002, mandates that States verify the identities of newly registered voters. When newly registered voters do not have driver’s licenses or State-issued ID cards, they must supply the last four digits of their Social Security number to their local State election agencies for verification. The election agencies forward this information to their State Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), who inputs the data into the American Association of MVAs, a central consolidation system that routes the voter data to SSA’s Help America Vote Verification (HAVV) system. Once SSA’s HAVV system has confirmed the identity of the voter, the information will return along the same route in reverse until it reaches the State election agency.

AGENCY: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES ACTION: Finding: Section 202(t)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402(t)(1)) prohibits payment of monthly benefits to any individual who is not a United States citizen or national for any month after he or she has been outside the United States for 6 consecutive months. This prohibition does not apply to such an individual where one of the exceptions described in section 202(t)(2) through 202(t)(5) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402(t)(2) through 402(t)(5)) affects his or her case. Section 202(t)(2) of the Social Security Act provides that, subject to certain residency requirements of Section 202(t)(11), the prohibition against payment shall not apply to any individual who is a citizen of a country which the Commissioner of Social Security finds has in effect a social insurance or pension system which is of general application in such country and which: (a) Pays periodic benefits, or the actuarial equivalent thereof, on account of old age, retirement, or death; and (b) permits individuals who are United States citizens but not citizens of that country and who qualify for such benefits to receive those benefits, or the actuarial equivalent thereof, while outside the foreign country regardless of the duration of the absence. The Commissioner of Social Security has delegated the authority to make such a finding to the Associate Commissioner of the Office of International Programs. Under that authority, the Associate Commissioner of the Office of International Programs approved a finding that Slovenia, beginning April 1, 1992, has a social insurance system of general application which: (a) Pays periodic benefits, or the actuarial equivalent thereof, on account of old age, retirement, or death; and (b) permits United States citizens who are not citizens of Slovenia to receive such benefits, or their actuarial equivalent, at the full rate without qualification or restriction while outside Slovenia. Accordingly, notice is given that it has been determined and found that VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:52 Jul 22, 2014 Jkt 232001 Slovenia has in effect, beginning April 1, 1992, a social insurance system which meets the requirements of section 202(t)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 402(t)(2)). This determination is our first finding under section 202(t) of the Social Security Act for Slovenia. On April 1, 1992, the United States recognized Slovenia as an independent nation. Before that time, it was considered to be part of former Yugoslavia which, on March 25, 1959, had been determined to have a system that met section 202(t)(2) of the Social Security Act. The system remained in force in Slovenia until the Law on Pension and Disability Insurance went into effect on April 1, 1992. Thus, prior to that date Slovenian citizens were afforded the social insurance exception to the alien nonpayment provision based on the Yugoslavian system which was then in effect.

3. Medicare Subsidy Quality Review Forms--20 CFR 418(b)(5)--0960-
0707. The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) of 2003 mandated the
creation of the Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage program and
provides certain subsidies for eligible Medicare beneficiaries to help
pay for the cost of prescription drugs. As part of its stewardship
duties of the Medicare Part D subsidy program, SSA must conduct
periodic quality review checks of the information Medicare
beneficiaries report on their subsidy applications (Form SSA-1020). SSA
uses the Medicare Quality Review program to conduct these checks. The
respondents are applicants for the Medicare Part D subsidy whom SSA
chose to undergo a quality review.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

4. Application to Collect a Fee for Payee Service--20 CFR
416.640.640(a), 416.1103(f)--0960-0719. Sections 205(j)(4)(A) and (B)
and 1631(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (Act) allow SSA to authorize
certain organizational representative payees to collect a fee for
providing payee services. Before organizations may collect this fee,
they complete and submit Form SSA-445. SSA uses the information to
determine whether to authorize or deny permission to collect fees for
payee services. The respondents are private sector businesses or State
and local government offices applying to become fee-for-service
organizational representative payees.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

5. Redetermination of Eligibility for Help with Medicare
Prescription Drug Plan Costs--0960-0723. As per the requirements of the
MMA of 2003, SSA conducts low-income subsidy eligibility
redeterminations for Medicare beneficiaries who currently receive the
Medicare Part D subsidy and who meet certain criteria. Respondents
complete Form SSA-1026-REDE under the following circumstances: (1) When
individuals became entitled to the Medicare Part D subsidy during the
past 12 months; (2) if they were eligible for the Part D subsidy for
more than 12 months; or (3) if they reported a change in income,
resources, or household size. Part D beneficiaries complete the SSA-
1026-SCE when they need to report a potentially subsidy-changing event,
including the following: (1) Marriage, (2) spousal separation, (3)
divorce, (4) annulment of a marriage, (5) spousal death, or (6) moving
back in with one's spouse following a separation. The respondents are
current recipients of the Medicare Part D low-income subsidy who will
undergo an eligibility redetermination for one of the reasons mentioned
above.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

6. Electronic Records Express (Third Parties)--20 CFR 404.1700-
404.1715--0960-0767. Electronic Records Express (ERE) is an online
system which enables medical providers and various third party
representatives to download and submit disability claimant information
electronically to SSA as part of the disability application process. To
ensure only authorized people access ERE, SSA requires third parties to
complete a unique registration process if they wish to use this system.
This information collection request (ICR) includes the third-party
registration process; the burden for submitting evidence to SSA is part
of other, various ICRs. The respondents are third party

7. Screen Pop--20 CFR 401.45--0960-0790. Section 205(a) of the Act
requires SSA to verify the identity of individuals who request a record
or information pertaining to themselves, and to establish procedures
for disclosing personal information. SSA established Screen Pop, an
automated telephone process, to increase speed of verification for such
individuals. Accessing Screen Pop, callers enter their Social Security
number (SSN) using their telephone keypad or speech technology prior to
speaking with a National 800 Number Network (N8NN) agent. The automated
Screen Pop application collects the SSN and routes it to the ``Start
New Call'' Customer Help and Information (CHIP) screen. Functionality
for the Screen Pop application ends once the SSN connects to the CHIP
screen and the SSN routes to the agent's screen. When the call connects
to the N8NN agent, the agent can use the SSN to access the caller's
record as needed. The respondents for this collection are individuals
who contact SSA's N8NN to speak with an agent.

1. Statement Regarding Date of Birth and Citizenship--20 CFR
404.716--0960-0016. Section 205(a) of the Act gives the Commissioner of
SSA the authority to make rules and regulations, and to establish
procedures for collecting evidence from individuals applying for Social
Security benefits. When individuals apply for Social Security benefits
and cannot provide preferred methods of proving age or citizenship, SSA
uses Form SSA-702 to establish these facts. Specifically, SSA uses the
SSA-702 to establish age as a factor of entitlement to Social Security
benefits or U.S. citizenship as a payment factor. Respondents are
individuals with knowledge about the date of birth or citizenship of
applicants filing for one or more Social Security benefits who need to
establish age or citizenship.

3. Teacher Questionnaire and Request for Administrative
Information--20 CFR 416.1103(f)--0960-0646. When determining the
effects of a child's impairment for children applying for Title II
childhood disability benefits, SSA obtains information about the
child's functioning from teachers, parents, and others who observe the
child on a daily basis. SSA obtains results of formal testing, teacher
reports, therapy progress notes, individualized education programs, and
other records of a child's educational aptitude and achievement using
Forms SSA-5665-BK and SSA-5666. The respondents are parents, teachers,
and other education personnel.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information

4. Medicare Part D Subsidies Regulations--20 CFR 418.3625,
418.3645, 418.3665(a), and 418.3670--0960-0702. The MMA of 2003
established the Medicare Part D program for voluntary prescription drug
coverage of premium, deductible, and co-payment costs for certain low-
income individuals. The MMA also mandated the provision of subsidies
for those individuals who qualify for the program and who meet
eligibility criteria for help with premium, deductible, or co-payment
costs. This law requires SSA to make eligibility determinations and to
provide a process for appealing SSA's determinations. Regulation
sections 418.3625(c), 418.3645, 418.3665(a), and 418.3670 contain
public reporting requirements pertaining to administrative review
hearings. Respondents are applicants for the Medicare Part D subsidies
who request an administrative review hearing.
Type of Request: Extension of an existing OMB-approved information
collection.

5. Help America Vote Act--0960-0706. House Rule 3295, the Help
America Vote Act of 2002, mandates that States verify the identities of
newly registered voters. When newly registered voters do not have
driver's licenses or State-issued ID cards, they must supply the last
four digits of their Social Security number to their local State
election agencies for verification. The election agencies forward this
information to their State Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), who
inputs the data into the American Association of MVAs, a central
consolidation system that routes the voter data to SSA's Help America
Vote Verification (HAVV) system. Once SSA's HAVV system has confirmed
the identity of the voter, the information will return along the same
route in reverse until it reaches the State election agency. The
official respondents for this collection are the State MVAs.
Note: This is a correction notice: SSA published the incorrect
burden information for this collection at 79 FR 37828 on 07/02/14. We
are correcting this error here.
