Agency Information Collection
Activities: 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
of OMB-approved information
collections, and one new information
collection.
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,

SSA submitted the information
collections below to OMB for clearance.
Your comments regarding these
information collections would be most
useful if OMB and SSA receive them 30
days from the date of this publication.
To be sure we consider your comments,
we must receive them no later than
August 28, 2017. Individuals can obtain
copies of the OMB clearance packages
by writing to OR.Reports.Clearance@
ssa.gov.
1. Promoting Opportunity
Demonstration—0960–NEW. Section
823 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015
requires SSA to carry out the Promoting
Opportunity Demonstration (POD) to
test a new benefit offset formula for
Social Security Disability Insurance
(SSDI) beneficiaries. Therefore, SSA is
undertaking POD, a demonstration to
evaluate the affect the new policy will
have on SSDI beneficiaries and their
families in several critical areas: (1)
Employment, (2) benefits, (3) earnings,
and (4) income (earnings plus benefits).
Under current law, Social Security
beneficiaries lose their SSDI benefit if
they have earnings or work activity
above the threshold of Substantial
Gainful Activity (SGA). The POD
evaluation will draw on previous
lessons from related work incentive
experiences, especially SSA’s Benefit
Offset National Demonstration (BOND),
0960–0785, which tested a different
offset formula. POD tests a different
policy than BOND in two important
ways: (1) A lower threshold at which
point the offset is applied—increasing
the likelihood of reducing benefit
expenditures relative to current law
expenditures; and (2) A more immediate
adjustment to the benefits—to increase
the salience and clarity of the offset
policy for beneficiaries. The POD will
test a benefit offset that will reduce
benefits by $1 for every $2 in
participants’ earnings above the POD
threshold, gradually reducing benefits
as earnings increase. The POD threshold
will equal the greater of (1) an inflationadjusted trial work period level ($840 in
2017); or (2) the amount of the
participant’s itemized impairmentrelated work expenses up to SGA. The
new rules we will test in POD also
simplify work incentives and we intend
them to promote employment and
reduce dependency on benefits.
The design for POD will include
implementation and evaluation
activities designed to answer seven
central research questions:
• What are the impacts of the two
POD benefit designs on beneficiaries’
earnings, SSDI benefits, and total
earnings and benefit income?
• Is POD attractive to beneficiaries?
Do they remain engaged over time?

• How were the POD offset policies
implemented, and what operational,
systemic, or contextual factors
facilitated or posed challenges to
administering the offset?
• How successful were POD and SSA
in making timely benefit adjustments,
and what factors affected timeliness
positively or negatively?
• How do the impacts of the POD
offset policies vary with beneficiary
characteristics?
• What are the costs and benefits of
the POD benefit designs relative to
current law, and what are the
implications for the SSDI trust fund?
• What are the implications of the
POD findings for national policy
proposals that would include a SSDI
benefit offset?
The public survey data collections
have four components—a process
analysis, a participation analysis, an
impact analysis, and a cost-benefit
analysis. The data collections are the
primary source for data to measure the
effects of the benefit offset on SSDI
beneficiaries’ work efforts and earnings.
Ultimately, these data will benefit
researchers, policy analysts, policy
makers, SSA, and the state vocational
rehabilitation agencies in a wide range
of program areas. There are four targeted
outcomes for SSDI beneficiaries under
POD: (1) Increased employment and
earnings; (2) decreased benefits
payments; (3) increased total income;
and (4) impacts on other related
outcomes (for example, health status
and quality of life). Additionally, four
outcomes of interest for system changes
include: (1) Reduction in overpayments;
(2) enhanced program integrity; (3)
stronger culture of self-sufficiency; and
(4) improved SSDI trust fund balance.
Respondents are SSDI beneficiaries,
who will provide written consent before
agreeing to participate in the study and
before we randomly assign them to one
of the study treatment groups.
Type of Request: Request for a new
information collection.
Note: The burden in the chart below differs
from the burden SSA reported in our last
published notice for this collection (April 18,
2017, at 82 FR 18335). The number of burden
hours decreased because we removed
questions from the information collection,
resulting in a lower response time and an
accompanying decrease in burden hours.
