SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
Under the formula, the election
official and election worker coverage
threshold for 2016 is equal to the 1999
amount of $1,000 multiplied by the ratio
of the national average wage index for
2014 to that for 1997. If the amount we
determine is not a multiple of $100, it
we round it to the nearest multiple of
$100.
[Docket No: SSA–2015–0065]
Election Official and Election Worker
Coverage Threshold Amount
Multiplying the 1999 election worker
coverage threshold amount ($1,000) by
the ratio of the national average wage
index for 2014 ($46,481.52) to that for
1997 ($27,426.00) produces $1,694.80.
We then round this amount to $1,700.
Therefore, the election official and
election worker coverage threshold
amount is $1,700 for 2016.

Activities: Proposed Request and
Comment Request
The Social Security Administration
(SSA) publishes a list of information
collection packages requiring clearance
by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with
Public Law 104–13, the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, effective October
1, 1995. This notice includes revisions
and an extension of OMB-approved
information collections.
SSA is soliciting comments on the
accuracy of the agency’s burden
estimate; the need for the information;
its practical utility; ways to enhance its
quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to
minimize burden on respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Mail, email, or
fax your comments and
recommendations on the information
collection(s) to the OMB Desk Officer
and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at
the following addresses or fax numbers.
(OMB), Office of Management and
Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,

OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov.
Or you may submit your comments
online through www.regulations.gov,
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA–
2015–0065].
I. The information collections below
are pending at SSA. SSA will submit
them to OMB within 60 days from the
date of this notice. To be sure we
consider your comments, we must
receive them no later than December 29,
2015. Individuals can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by writing to
the above email address.
1. Child Relationship Statement—20
CFR 404.355 & 404.731—0960–0116. To
help determine a child’s entitlement to
Social Security benefits, SSA uses
criteria under section 216(h)(3) of the
Social Security Act, deemed child
provision. SSA may deem a child to an
insured individual if: (1) The insured
individual presents SSA with
satisfactory evidence of parenthood, and
was living with or contributing to the
child’s support at certain specified
times; or (2) the insured individual (a)
acknowledged the child in writing; (b)
was court decreed as the child’s parent;
or (c) was court ordered to support the
child. To obtain this information, SSA
uses Form SSA–2519, Child
Relationship Statement. The
respondents are people with knowledge
of the relationship between certain
individuals filing for Social Security
benefits and their alleged biological
children.

2. Request for Reinstatement (Title
XVI)—20 CFR 416.999–416.999d—
0960–0744. SSA uses Form SSA–372 to
(1) inform previously entitled
beneficiaries of the expedited
reinstatement (EXR) requirements of
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
payments under Title XVI of the Social
Security Act (Act), and (2) document
their requests for EXR. We require this
application for reinstatement of benefits
for respondents to obtain SSI disability
payments for EXR. When an SSA claims
representative learns of individuals
whose medical conditions no longer
permit them to perform substantial
gainful activity as defined in the Act,
the claims representative gives or mails
the form to the previously entitled
individuals if they request EXR over the
phone. SSA employees collect this
information whenever an individual
files for EXR benefits. The respondents
are applicants for EXR of SSI disability
payments.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB
approved information collection.

When SSA determines: (1) Claimants for
initial disability benefits do not actually
have a disability, or (2) current
disability recipients’ records show their
disability ceased, SSA notifies the
disability claimants or recipients of this
decision. In response to this notice, the
affected claimants and disability
recipients have the following recourse:
(1) They may request a disability
hearing to contest SSA’s decision and
(2) they may submit additional
information or evidence for SSA to
consider. Disability claimants,
recipients, and their representatives use
Form SSA–765 to accomplish these two
actions. If respondents request the first
option, SSA’s Disability Hearings Unit
uses the form to schedule a hearing;
ensure an interpreter is present, if
required; and ensure the disability
recipients or claimants and their
representatives receive a notice about
the place and time of the hearing. If
respondents choose the second option,
SSA uses the form and other evidence
to reevaluate the claimant’s case and
determine if the new information or
evidence will change SSA’s decision.
The respondents are disability
claimants, current disability recipients,
or their representatives.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.
