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
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 collection below is
pending at SSA. SSA will submit it 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 April 27, 2020. Individuals
can obtain copies of the collection
instruments by writing to the above
email address.
Requests for Self-Employment
Information, Employee Information, and
Employer Information—20 CFR
422.120—0960–0508. When SSA cannot
identify Form W–2 wage data for an
individual, we place the data in an
earnings suspense file and contact the
individual (and in certain instances the
employer) to obtain the correct
information. If the respondent furnishes
the name and Social Security Number
(SSN) information that agrees with
SSA’s records, or provides information
that resolves the discrepancy, SSA adds
the reported earnings to the
respondent’s Social Security record. We
use Forms SSA–L2765, SSA–L3365, and
SSA–L4002 for this purpose. The
respondents are self-employed
individuals and employees whose name
and SSN information do not agree with
their employer’s and SSA’s records.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB
approved information collection.

Consent Based Social Security
Number Verification Process—20 CFR
400.100—0960–0760. The Consent
Based Social Security Number
Verification (CBSV) process is a feebased automated SSN verification
service available to private businesses
and other requesting parties. To use the
system, private businesses and
requesting parties must register with
SSA and obtain valid consent from SSN
holders prior to verification. We collect
the information to verify if the
submitted name and SSN match the
information in SSA records. After
completing a registration process and
paying the fee, the requesting party can
use the CBSV process to submit a file
containing the names of number holders
who gave valid consent, along with each
number holder’s accompanying SSN
and date of birth (if available) to obtain
real-time results using a web service
application or SSA’s Business Services
Online (BSO) application. SSA matches
the information against the SSA master
file of SSNs, using SSN, name, date of
birth, and gender code (if available). The
requesting party retrieves the results file
from SSA, which indicates only a match
or no match for each SSN submitted.
Under the CBSV process, the
requesting party does not submit the
consent forms of the number holders to
SSA. SSA requires each requesting party
to retain a valid consent form for each
SSN verification request. The requesting
party retains the consent forms in either
electronic or paper format.
SSA added a strong audit component
to ensure the integrity of the CBSV
process. At the discretion of the agency,
we require audits (called ‘‘compliance
reviews’’) with the requesting party

certified public accounts (CPAs)
conduct these reviews to ensure
compliance with all the terms and
conditions of the party’s agreement with
SSA, including a review of the consent
forms. CPAs conduct the reviews at the
requesting party’s place of business to
ensure the integrity of the process. In
addition, SSA reserves the right to
perform unannounced onsite
inspections of the entire process,
including review of the technical
systems that maintain the data and
transaction records. The respondents to
the CBSV collection are the
participating companies; members of
the public who consent to the SSN
verification; and CPAs who provide
compliance review services.

Consent Based Social Security Number Verification Process--20 CFR
400.100--0960-0760. The Consent Based Social Security Number
Verification (CBSV) process is a fee-based automated SSN verification
service available to private businesses and other requesting parties.
To use the system, private businesses and requesting parties must
register with SSA and obtain valid consent from SSN holders prior to
verification. We collect the information to verify if the submitted
name and SSN match the information in SSA records. After completing a
registration process and paying the fee, the requesting party can use
the CBSV process to submit a file containing the names of number
holders who gave valid consent, along with each number holder's
accompanying SSN and date of birth (if available) to obtain real-time
results using a web service application or SSA's Business Services
Online (BSO) application. SSA matches the information against the SSA
master file of SSNs, using SSN, name, date of birth, and gender code
(if available). The requesting party retrieves the results file from
SSA, which indicates only a match or no match for each SSN submitted.
Under the CBSV process, the requesting party does not submit the
consent forms of the number holders to SSA. SSA requires each
requesting party to retain a valid consent form for each SSN
verification request. The requesting party retains the consent forms in
either electronic or paper format.
SSA added a strong audit component to ensure the integrity of the
CBSV process. At the discretion of the agency, we require audits
(called ``compliance reviews'') with the requesting party paying all
audit costs. Independent certified public accounts (CPAs) conduct these
reviews to ensure compliance with all the terms and conditions of the
party's agreement with SSA, including a review of the consent forms.
CPAs conduct the reviews at the requesting party's place of business to
ensure the integrity of the process. In addition, SSA reserves the
right to perform unannounced onsite inspections of the entire process,
including review of the technical systems that maintain the data and
transaction records. The respondents to the CBSV collection are the
participating companies; members of the public who consent to the SSN
verification; and CPAs who provide compliance review services.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.
