the Privacy Act statement page. The
user then provides a response about
whether they are answering these
questions about themselves or about
another person. To do so, the system
presents several options for individual
to select from the categories of
individuals who, under current
regulations, can establish a protective
filing date. The next screens ask for
basic information about the individual
who will be claiming benefits or
requesting SSI payments. Additionally,
the tool collects the name, phone
number, and email address (optional) of
the person submitting the information,
if that person is different than the
person who will be filing for SSI.
Once the ePFT collects the data, it
gives the individual the opportunity to
review the information provided and
electronically sign and submit the form.
The ePFT then transmits the
information into eLAS, documenting it
as an ePFT submission, and establishes
a protective filing date. If the individual
provided an email address(es), the tool
generates an email confirmation and
sends it to the individual who will be
filing for benefits, and, if applicable, to
the individual submitting the
appointment request on the claimant’s
behalf.
Subsequently, eLAS notifies SSA of
the pending request, and an SSA
technician uses the information
submitted to schedule an appointment

Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed 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.

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 October 11,
2022. Individuals can obtain copies of
the collection instruments by writing to
the above email address.
1. Plan to Achieve Self-Support
(PASS)—20 CFR 416.110(e), 416.1180–
416.1182, 416.1225–416.1227—0960–
0559. The Supplemental Security
Income (SSI) program encourages
recipients to return to work. One of the
program objectives is to provide
incentives and opportunities that help
recipients do so. The Plan to Achieve
Self-Support (PASS) provision allows
individuals to develop a plan to enter
(or re-enter) the workforce and become
self-supporting. In turn, SSA does not
count the income or resources (such as
business equipment, education, or
specialized training) recipients use to
fund a PASS when determining an
individual’s SSI eligibility or payment
amount. An SSI recipient who wants to
take advantage of the PASS provision
completes Form SSA–545. SSA uses the

information from the SSA–545 to
evaluate the recipient’s PASS, and to
determine eligibility under the
provisions of the SSI program. The
respondents are SSI recipients who
want to develop a return-to-work plan.

There is no actual charge to respondents to complete the
application.
2. Request for Accommodation in
Communication Method—0960–0777.
SSA allows disabled or impaired Social
Security applicants, beneficiaries,
recipients, and representative payees to
choose one of seven alternative methods
of communication they want SSA to use
when we send them benefit notices and
other related communications. The
seven alternative methods we offer are:
(1) standard print notice by first-class
mail; (2) standard print mail with a
follow-up telephone call; (3) certified
mail; (4) Braille; (5) Microsoft Word file
on data CD; (6) large print (18-point
font); or (7) audio CD. Respondents who
want to receive notices from SSA
through a communication method other
than the seven methods listed above
must explain their request to us. Those
respondents use our iAccomodate
Intranet or mySNO internet screens, or
the paper Form SSA–9000–F6 to: (1)
describe the type of accommodation
they want from SSA; (2) disclose their
condition necessitating the need for a
different type of accommodation; and
(3) explain why none of the seven
methods described above are sufficient
for their needs. SSA uses our internet
and Intranet screens or Form SSA–
9000–F6 to determine, based on
applicable law and regulation, whether
to grant the respondents’ requests for an
accommodation based on their
impairment or disability. SSA collects

during which the SSA employee keys in

Intranet screens, or through the mySNO
internet screens which respondents may
complete for themselves using the
application available through their
mySSA accounts. The respondents are
disabled or impaired Social Security or
SSI applicants, beneficiaries, recipients,
and representative payees who ask SSA
to send notices and other
communications in an alternative
method besides the seven modalities we
currently offer.
