1. Supplemental Security Income
(SSI)—Quality Review Case Analysis—
0960–0133. To assess the SSI program
and ensure the accuracy of its payments,
SSA conducts legally mandated
periodic SSI case analysis quality
reviews. SSA uses Form SSA–8508 to
conduct these reviews, collecting
information on operating efficiency; the
quality of underlying policies; and the
effect of incorrect payments. SSA also
uses the data to determine SSI program
payment accuracy rate, which is a
performance measure for the agency’s
service delivery goals. Respondents are
recipients of SSI payments selected for
quality reviews.

404.315–404.322, 404.330–404.333,
404.601–404.603, and 404.1501–
404.1512—0960–0618. Title II of the
Social Security Act provides retirement,
survivors, and disability benefits to
members of the public who meet the
required eligibility criteria and file the
appropriate application. This collection
comprises the various application
methods for each type of benefits. SSA
uses the information we gather through
the multiple information collection
tools in this information collection
request to determine applicants’
eligibility for specific Social Security
benefits, as well as the amount of the
benefits. Individuals filing for disability
benefits can, and in some instances SSA
may require them to, file applications
under both Title II, Social Security
disability benefits, and Title XVI, SSI
payments. We refer to disability
applications filed under both titles as
‘‘concurrent applications.’’ This
collection comprises the various
application methods for each type of
benefits. These methods include the
following modalities: Paper forms
(Forms SSA–1, SSA–2, and SSA–16);
Modernized Claims System (MCS)
screens for in-person interview
applications; and Internet-based iClaim
and iAppointment applications. SSA
uses the information we collect through
these modalities to determine: (1) The
applicants’ eligibility for the abovementioned Social Security benefits and
(2) the amount of the benefits. The
respondents are applicants for
retirement, survivors, and disability
benefits under title II of the Social
Security Act.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.

retirement, survivors, and disability benefits to members of the public

the multiple information collection tools in this information

Social Security benefits, as well as the amount of the benefits.
Individuals filing for disability benefits can, and in some instances
SSA may require them to, file applications under both Title II, Social
Security disability benefits, and Title XVI, SSI payments. We refer to
disability applications filed under both titles as ``concurrent
applications.'' This collection comprises the various application
methods for each type of benefits. These methods include the following
modalities: Paper forms (Forms SSA-1, SSA-2, and SSA-16); Modernized
Claims System (MCS) screens for in-person interview applications; and
Internet-based iClaim and iAppointment applications. SSA uses the
information we collect through these modalities to determine: (1) The
applicants' eligibility for the above-mentioned Social Security
benefits and (2) the amount of the benefits. The respondents are
applicants for retirement, survivors, and disability benefits under
title II of the Social Security Act.
