SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
[Docket No: SSA–2017–0052]
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 extensions 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,
Fax: 202–395–6974, Email address:
OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.
(SSA) Social Security Administration,
OLCA, Attn: Reports Clearance
Director, 3100 West High Rise, 6401
Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 21235,
Fax: 410–966–2830, Email address:
OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov. Or
you may submit your comments
online through www.regulations.gov,
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA–
2017–0052].
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 November 20,
2017. Individuals can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by writing to
the above email address.
1. Letter to Employer Requesting
Information About Wages Earned By
Beneficiary—20 CFR 404.1520, 20 CFR
404.1571–404.1576, 20 CFR 404.1584–
404.1593, and 20 CFR 416.971–
416.976—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.

Hospitals and claimants use Form SSA–
3380 to provide medical information to
local field offices (FO) and the Disability
Determination Services (DDS) on behalf
of infants with low birth weight. FOs
use the form as a protective filing
statement, and the medical evidence
respondents provide on the form 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.

applicant if the applicant claims a
common-law marriage to the insured in
a state in which such marriages are
recognized, and no formal marriage
documentation exists. SSA uses

2. Workers’ Compensation/Public
Disability Questionnaire—20 CFR
404.408—0960–0247. Section 224 of the
Social Security Act (Act) provides for
the reduction of disability insurance
benefits (DIB) when the combination of
DIB and any workers’ compensation
(WC) or certain Federal, State, or local
public disability benefits (PDB) exceeds
80 percent of the worker’s pre-disability
earnings. SSA field office staff conduct
face-to-face interviews with applicants
using the electronic SSA–546 WC/PDB
screens in the Modernized Claims
System (MCS) to determine if the
worker’s receipt of WC or PDB
payments will cause a reduction of DIB.
Respondents are Title Title II disability
applicants who receive both disability
insurance benefits and worker’s
compensation.

416.268 of the Code of Federal
Regulations requires SSA to determine
eligibility for: (1) Special SSI cash
payments and, (2) special SSI eligibility
status for a person who works despite a
disabling condition. Section 20 CFR
416.268 also provides that, to qualify for
special SSI eligibility status, an
individual must establish that
termination of eligibility for benefits
under Title XIX of the Act would
seriously inhibit the ability to continue
employment. SSA employees collect the
information this regulation requires
from respondents during a personal
interview. We then use this information
to determine if an individual is entitled
to special Title XVI SSI payments and,
consequently, to Medicaid. The
respondents are SSI recipients for whom
SSA has stopped payments based on
earnings.

MVA inputs the data into the American

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 extensions 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, Fax:
202-395-6974, Email address: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.

Director, 3100 West High Rise, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD
21235, Fax: 410-966-2830, Email address: OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov.
Or you may submit your comments online through www.regulations.gov,
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA-2017-0052].
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
November 20, 2017. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection
instruments by writing to the above email address.
1. Letter to Employer Requesting Information About Wages Earned By
Beneficiary--20 CFR 404.1520, 20 CFR 404.1571-404.1576, 20 CFR
404.1584-404.1593, and 20 CFR 416.971-416.976--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

after a recipient becomes entitled to benefits can cause a cessation of
disability. The respondents are businesses that employ Social Security

spousal applicant if the applicant claims a common-law marriage to the
insured in a state in which such marriages are recognized, and no
formal marriage documentation exists. SSA uses information we collect

benefits meets the criteria of common-law marriage under state law. The
respondents are applicants for spouse's Social Security benefits or
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments.

of other, various ICRs. The respondents are third party representatives
of disability applicants or recipients who want to use ERE to
electronically access clients' disability files online and submit
information to SSA.
