Modality of completion Need for Emergency Paperwork Reduction Act Approval Based on the unexpected decrease in SSI claim submissions, mostly from people facing barriers, SSA is concerned this population needs more options and flexibility to help them apply for SSI. Our goal in developing this new SSI claims tool is to offer that flexibility, and to make it as easy as possible to complete the process. We are seeking Number of respondents Respondent Type 1 (ex: Potential Applicants) .................................................... Respondent Type 2 (ex: Professional Assistors) .............................................. Respondent Type 3 (ex: Attorney Representatives) ......................................... Totals ................................................ Average burden per response (minutes) Frequency of response emergency PRA approval because it is important to us to start offering this new tool to everyone, particularly underserved populations, as soon as we can. An emergency PRA approval would facilitate rapid rollout of the tool, and would mitigate the delay inherent in the extensive time period of the standard OMB approval cycle. Type of Request: New (emergency) information collection. Estimated total annual burden (hours) Average theoretical hourly cost amount (dollars) * Total annual opportunity cost (dollars) ** 17,000 1 6 1,700 * $27.07 ** $46,019 2,125 10 7 2,479 * 25.09 ** 62,198 2,125 2 7 496 * 71.59 ** 35,509 21,250 ........................ ........................ 4,675 ........................ ** 143,726 * We based this figure on the average U.S. worker’s hourly wages, as reported by Bureau of Labor Statistics data (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#00-0000), on average wages for Community and Social Service Organizations as reported by Bureau of Labor Statistics data (https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes210000.htm), and on average lawyer’s hourly salary as reported by Bureau of Labor Statistics data (https:// www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes231011.htm). ** This figure does not represent actual costs that SSA is imposing on recipients of Social Security payments to complete this online tool; rather, these are theoretical opportunity costs for the additional time respondents will spend to complete the tool. There is no actual charge to respondents to complete the online tool. Dated: February 24, 2022. Naomi Sipple, Reports Clearance Officer, Social Security Administration.
