1. The Department of the Treasury’s
Pay.gov Collection Application for
Benefit Overpayments—20 CFR 404.501,
404.502, 404.521, and 404.527—0960–
NEW. The Social Security
Administration will use the new
internet Pay.gov Application for
Overpayments to offer a new repayment
option to beneficiaries and recipients to
recover overpayments they incurred.
Pay.gov is an online collection portal
developed and maintained by the
Department of the Treasury (Treasury).
The internet remittance portal will offer
beneficiaries and recipients another
option to repay overpayments via credit
card, debit card, and automated clearing
house (ACH). The SSA application
located on SocialSecurity.gov will
request the overpaid individual’s Social
Security Number (SSN) and dollar
amount they wish to repay on his or her
overpayment prior to sending them to
Treasury’s Pay.gov application which
will request and process the payment
information on SSA’s behalf. The
information SSA will collect is used to
reconcile the Pay.gov transactions, and
update the overpaid individual’s
balance on his or her record. The
respondents are individuals who have
Title II or XVI overpayments, and who
wish to voluntarily repay the
overpayment online through
SocialSecurity.gov.

information collection.

3. The Ticket to Work and SelfSufficiency Program—20 CFR 411—
0960–0644. SSA’s Ticket to Work (TTW)
Program transitions Social Security
Disability Insurance (SSDI) and
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
recipients toward independence by
allowing them to receive Social Security
payments while maintaining
employment under the auspices of the
program. SSA uses service providers,
called Employment Networks (ENs), to
supervise participant progress through
the stages of TTW Program
participation, such as job searches and
interviews; progress reviews; and

of services. The respondents are

changes in ticket status. ENs can be
private for-profit and nonprofit
organizations, as well as state vocational
rehabilitation agencies (VRs). SSA and
the ENs utilize the TTW program
manager to operate the TTW Program
and exchange information about
participants. For example, the ENs use
the program manager to provide updates
on tasks such as selecting a payment
system, or requesting payments for
helping the beneficiary achieve certain
work goals. Since the ENs are not PRAexempt, the multiple information
collections within the TTW program
manager require OMB approval. Most of

includes an extension and 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,
Fax: 202-395-6974, Email address: [email protected].

1. The Department of the Treasury's Pay.gov Collection Application
for Benefit Overpayments--20 CFR 404.501, 404.502, 404.521, and
404.527--0960-NEW. The Social Security Administration will use the new
internet Pay.gov Application for Overpayments to offer a new repayment
option to beneficiaries and recipients to recover overpayments they
incurred. Pay.gov is an online collection portal developed and
maintained by the Department of the Treasury (Treasury). The internet
remittance portal will offer beneficiaries and recipients another
option to repay overpayments via credit card, debit card, and automated
clearing house (ACH). The SSA application located on SocialSecurity.gov
will request the overpaid individual's Social Security Number (SSN) and
dollar amount they wish to repay on his or her overpayment prior to
sending them to Treasury's Pay.gov application which will request and
process the payment information on SSA's behalf. The information SSA
will collect is used to reconcile the Pay.gov transactions, and update
the overpaid individual's balance on his or her record. The respondents
are individuals who have Title II or XVI overpayments, and who wish to
voluntarily repay the overpayment online through SocialSecurity.gov.
Type of Request: Request for a new information collection.

2. Surveys in Accordance with E.O. 12862 for the Social Security
Administration--0960-0526. Under the auspices of Executive Order 12862,
Setting Customer Service Standards, SSA conducts multiple customer
satisfaction surveys each year. These voluntary customer satisfaction
assessments include paper, internet, and telephone surveys; mailed
questionnaires; and customer comment cards. The purpose of these
questionnaires is to assess customer satisfaction with the timeliness,
appropriateness, access, and overall quality of existing SSA services
and proposed modifications or new versions of services. The respondents
are recipients of SSA services (including most members of the public),
professionals, and individuals who work on behalf of SSA beneficiaries.
Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information
collection.

3. The Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program--20 CFR 411--
0960-0644. SSA's Ticket to Work (TTW) Program transitions Social
Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) recipients toward independence by allowing them to receive Social
Security payments while maintaining employment under the auspices of
the program. SSA uses service providers, called Employment Networks
(ENs), to supervise participant progress through the stages of TTW
Program participation, such as job searches and interviews; progress
reviews; and changes in ticket status. ENs can be private for-profit
and nonprofit organizations, as well as state vocational rehabilitation
agencies (VRs). SSA and the ENs utilize the TTW program manager to
operate the TTW Program and exchange information about participants.
For example, the ENs use the program manager to provide updates on
tasks such as selecting a payment system, or requesting payments for
helping the beneficiary achieve certain work goals. Since the ENs are
not PRA-exempt, the multiple information collections within the TTW
program manager require OMB approval. Most of the categories of
information are necessary for SSA to: (1) Comply with the Ticket to
Work legislation; and (2) provide proper oversight of the program. SSA
collects this information through several modalities, including forms,
electronic exchanges, and written documentation. The respondents are
the ENs or state VRs, SSDI beneficiaries, and blind or disabled SSI
recipients working under the auspices of the TTW Program.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

4. Promoting Opportunity Demonstration--0960-0809. Section 823 of
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 required 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. We previously obtained OMB approval
for this demonstration, and are in the midst of implementing the
project. In this information collection request, we are seeking
approval to add new questions to our follow-up surveys. 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.

II. SSA submitted the information collection below to OMB for

Certificate of Support--20 CFR 404.370, 404.750, 404.408a--0960-
0001. A parent of a deceased, fully insured worker may be entitled to
Social Security Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI)
benefits based on the earnings record of the deceased worker under
certain conditions. One of the conditions is the parent receives at
least one-half support from the deceased worker. The one-half support
requirement also applies to a spousal applicant in determining whether
OASDI benefits are subject to Government Pension Offset (GPO). SSA uses
Form SSA-760-F4 to determine if the parent of a deceased worker or a
spouse applicant meets the one-half support requirement. Respondents
are (1) parents of deceased workers, and (2)
[[Page 53355]]
spouses who may meet the GPO exception,
