Agency Information Collection
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.

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 February 1,
2016. Individuals can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by writing to
the above email address.
1. Employer Verification of Records
for Children Under Age Seven—20 CFR
404.801–404.803, 404.821–404.822—
0960–0505. SSA discovered as many as
70 percent of the wage reports we
receive for children under age seven are
actually the earnings of someone other
than the child. To ensure we credit the
correct person with the reported
earnings, SSA verifies wage reports for
75485
children under age seven with the
children’s employers before posting to
the earnings record. SSA uses Form
SSA–L3231–C1, Request for Employer
Information, for this purpose. The
respondents are employers who report
earnings for children under age seven.

2. Wage Reports and Pension
Information—20 CFR 422.122(b)—0960–
0547. Pension plan administrators
annually file plan information with the
Internal Revenue Service, which then
forwards the information to SSA. SSA
maintains and organizes this
information by plan number; plan
participant’s name; and Social Security
number. Section 1131(a) of the Social
Security Act entitles pension plan
participants to request this information
from SSA. The Wage Reports and
Pension Information regulation, 20 CFR
422.122(b) of the Code of Federal
Regulations, stipulates that before SSA
disseminates this information, the
requestor must first submit a written
request with identifying information to
SSA. The respondents are requestors of
pension plan information.
Type of Request: Extension of an
OMB-approved information collection.

Your comments regarding the
information collection would be most

days from the date of this publication.
To be sure we consider your comments,
we must receive them no later than
January 4, 2016. Individuals can obtain
copies of the OMB clearance package by
writing to OR.Reports.Clearance@
ssa.gov.
Pre-1957 Military Service Federal
Benefit Questionnaire—20 CFR
404.1301–404.1371—0960–0120. SSA
may grant gratuitous military wage
credits for active military or naval
service (under certain conditions)
during the period September 16, 1940
through December 31, 1956, if no other
Federal agency (other than the Veterans
Administration) credited the service for
benefit eligibility or computation
purposes. We use Form SSA–2512 to
collect specific information about other
Federal, military, or civilian benefits the
wage earner may receive when the
applicant indicates both pre-1957
military service and the receipt of a
Federal benefit. SSA uses the data in the
claims adjudication process to grant
gratuitous military wage credits when
applicable, and to solicit sufficient
information to determine eligibility.
Respondents are applicants for Social
Security benefits on a record where the
wage earner claims pre-1957 military
service.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
