Section 202(g) of the Social Security Act provides for the payment of monthly benefits to the widow or widower of an insured individual if the surviving spouse is caring for the deceased worker’s child (who is entitled to Social Security benefits). SSA uses the information on Form SSA–5–BK to determine an individual’s eligibility for mother’s or father’s insurance benefits.

Letter to Employer Requesting Information About Wages Earned by Beneficiary—20 CFR 416.703, 404.801 & 404.820—0960–0034. Social Security disability recipients receive payments based on their inability to engage in substantial gainful activity (SGA) because of a physical or mental condition. If the recipients work, SSA must evaluate and determine if they continue to meet the disability requirements of the law. Therefore, we use Form SSA–L725 to request monthly earnings information from the recipient’s employer. We then use the earnings data to determine whether the recipient is engaging in SGA, since work after a recipient becomes entitled to benefits can cause a cessation of disability. The respondents are businesses that employ Social Security disability recipients. Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

We measure individuals’ needs, in part, by the amount of income they receive, including in-kind support and maintenance in the form of food and shelter provided by other persons. SSA uses Form SSA–8006–F4 to determine if in-kind support and maintenance exists for SSI applicants and recipients. This information also assists SSA in determining the income value of in-kind support and maintenance SSI applicants and recipients receive. The respondents are individuals who apply for SSI payments, or who complete an SSI eligibility redetermination. Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

ALJs must obtain the information to update and complete the record and to verify the accuracy of the information. Through this process, ALJs can ascertain whether the claimant’s situation has changed. The ALJs and hearing office staff use the response to make arrangements for consultative examination(s) and the attendance of an expert witness(es), if PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 appropriate. During the hearing, the ALJ offers any completed questionnaires as exhibits and may use them to: (1) Refresh the claimant’s memory, and (2) shape their questions. The respondents are claimant’s requesting hearings on entitlement to OASDI benefits or SSI payments. Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

Hospitals and claimants use Form SSA– 3380 to provide medical information to local field offices (FO) and the DDS on behalf of infants with low birth weight. FOs use the form as a protective filing statement and the medical information to make presumptive disability findings, which allow expedited payment to eligible claimants. DDSs use the medical information to determine disability and continuing disability.

When claimants who requested a hearing before an ALJ fail to appear at their scheduled hearing, the ALJ may reschedule the hearing if the claimants establish good cause for missing the hearings. To establish good cause, claimants must show one of the following: (1) SSA did not properly notify the claimant of the hearing, or (2) an unexpected event occurred without sufficient time for the claimant to request a postponement. The claimants can use paper Form HA–L90 to provide their reason for not appearing at their scheduled hearings; or the claimants’ representatives can use Electronic Records Express to submit the HA–L90 online. If the ALJ determines the claimants established good cause for failure to appear at the hearing, the ALJ will schedule a supplemental hearing; if not, the ALJ will make a claims eligibility determination based on the claimants’ evidence of record. Respondents are claimants, or their representatives, seeking to establish good cause for failure to appear at a scheduled hearing before an ALJ.

individuals' needs, in part, by the amount of income they receive, 
including in-kind support and maintenance in the form of food and 
shelter provided by other persons. SSA uses Form SSA-8006-F4 to 
determine if in-kind support and maintenance exists for SSI applicants

recipients receive. The respondents are individuals who apply for SSI 
payments, or who complete an SSI eligibility redetermination.

    4. Claimant's Recent Medical Treatment--20 CFR 404.1512 and 
416.912--0960-0292. When Disability Determinations Services (DDS) deny 
a claim at the reconsideration level, the claimant has a right to 
request a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). For the 
hearing, SSA asks the claimant to complete and return the HA-4631 if 
the claimant's file does not reflect a current, complete medical 
history as the claimant proceeds through the appeals process. ALJs must 
obtain the information to update and complete the record and to verify 
the accuracy of the information. Through this process, ALJs can 
ascertain whether the claimant's situation has changed. The ALJs and 
hearing office staff use the response to make arrangements for 
consultative examination(s) and the attendance of an expert 
witness(es), if appropriate. During the hearing, the ALJ offers any 
completed questionnaires as exhibits and may use them to: (1) Refresh 
the claimant's memory, and (2) shape their questions. The respondents 
are claimant's requesting hearings on entitlement to OASDI benefits or 
SSI payments.

use Form SSA-3380 to provide medical information to local field offices 
(FO) and the DDS on behalf of infants with low birth weight. FOs use 
the form as a protective filing statement and the medical information 
to make presumptive disability findings, which allow expedited payment 
to eligible claimants. DDSs use the medical information to determine 
disability and continuing disability. The respondents are hospitals and 
claimants who have information identifying low birth weight babies and 
their medical conditions.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    6. Request to Show Cause for Failure to Appear--20 CFR 404.938, 20 
CFR 416.1438, and 20 CFR 404.957(a)(ii)--0960-0794. When claimants who 
requested a hearing before an ALJ fail to appear at their scheduled 
hearing, the ALJ may reschedule the hearing if the claimants establish 
good cause for missing the hearings. To establish good cause, claimants 
must show one of the following: (1) SSA did not properly notify the 
claimant of the hearing, or (2) an unexpected event occurred without 
sufficient time for the claimant to request a postponement. The 
claimants can use paper Form HA-L90 to provide their reason for not 
appearing at their scheduled hearings; or the claimants' 
representatives can use Electronic Records Express to submit the HA-L90 
online. If the ALJ determines the claimants established good cause for 
failure to appear at the hearing, the ALJ will schedule a supplemental 
hearing; if not, the ALJ will make a claims eligibility determination 
based on the claimants' evidence of record. Respondents are claimants, 
or their representatives, seeking to establish good cause for failure 
to appear at a scheduled hearing before an ALJ.
    Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
