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.
(OMB) Office of Management and
Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA,
Comments: https://www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Submit your
comments online referencing Docket ID
Number [SSA–2023–0004].
(SSA) Social Security Administration,

OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov. Or you
may submit your comments online
through https://www.reginfo.gov/public/
do/PRAMain, referencing Docket ID
Number [SSA–2023–0004].
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 24, 2023. Individuals

instrument by writing to the above
email address.
Evidence From Excluded Medical
Sources of Evidence—20 CFR 404.1503b
and 416.903b—0960–0803. Section 812
of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015
(BBA), ‘‘Exclusion of certain medical
sources of evidence,’’ mandates that the
Social Security Administration (SSA)
exclude evidence in disability decisions
from certain medical sources. BBA
Section 812 amended section 223(d)(5)
of the Social Security Act (Act) by
adding a subsection ‘‘C.’’ Section
223(d)(5)(C)(i) of the Act, as amended,
requires SSA to exclude evidence
(except for good cause) from medical
sources: (1) convicted of a felony under
sections 208 or 1632 of the Act; (2)
excluded from participating in any
Federal health care program under
section 1128 of the Act; or (3) imposed
with a civil monetary penalty (CMP),
assessment, or both, for submitting false
evidence, under section 1129 of the Act.
We also implemented section
223(d)(5)(C), as amended, through
regulations at 20 CFR 404.1503b and
416.903b of the Code of Federal
Regulations. These regulations require
excluded medical sources to self-report
their excluded status, in writing, each
time they submit evidence related to a
claim for benefits under Titles II or XVI
of the Act. Excluded medical sources’
duty to self-report their excluded status
applies to evidence they submit to SSA
directly, or through a representative,
claimant, or other individual or entity.
As needed, SSA informs the medical
sources we suspect should be excluded
of these requirements through a Fact
Sheet we send to them via mail, or
which they can find on our website
where we list the regulatory
requirements under BBA section 812. In
addition, along with the Fact Sheet and
website, we provide sample statements
as templates the affected medical
sources can use to create their own
written statements as required under
our regulations. The respondents for
this collection are medical sources that:
(1) meet one of the exclusionary
categories set forth in section
223(d)(5)(C)(i) of the Act, as amended;
(2) furnish evidence related to a claim
for benefits under Titles II or XVI of the
Act; and (3) had failed to self-identify as
an excluded source of medical evidence
as required in section 223(d(5)(C)(i).
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
CFR 200.30–3(a)(12).

1. Incorporation by Reference of Oral
Findings of Fact and Rationale in
Wholly Favorable Written Decisions
(Bench Decision Regulation)—20 CFR
404.953 and 416.1453—0960–0694. If a
judge makes a wholly favorable oral
decision, including all the findings and
rationale for the decision for a claimant
of Title II or Title XVI payments, at an
administrative appeals hearing, the
judge sends a Notice of Decision (Form
HA–82), as the records from the oral
hearing preclude the need for a written
decision. We call this the incorporationby-reference process. In addition, as part
of the information we include on the
HA–82, if the involved parties want a
record of the oral decision, they may
submit a written request for these
records. As explained to the respondent
on the HA–82, SSA collects identifying
information under the aegis of sections
20 CFR 404.953 and 416.1453 of the
Code of Federal Regulations to
determine how to send interested
individuals written records of a
favorable incorporation-by-reference
oral decision made at an administrative
review hearing. Since SSA did not
create a form for the public to use to
request a written record of the decision,
the involved parties send SSA their
contact information and reference the
hearing for which they would like a
record to the hearings office indicated
on the HA–82. SSA employees collect
this information only once. The
respondents are applicants for Disability
Insurance Benefits and Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) payments based
on disability, or their representatives as
applicable, who receive a fully favorable
oral decision under the regulations cited
above, and who choose to request a
copy of the records for this decision.

2. Request for Waiver of Special
Veterans Benefits (SVB) Overpayment
Recovery or Change in Repayment
Rate—20 CFR 408.900–408.950–0960–
0698. Title VIII of the Social Security
Act (Act) requires SSA to pay a monthly
benefit to qualified World War II
veterans who reside outside the United
States. When SSA notes an overpayment
in this SVB, we inform the beneficiary.

As part of the information we send, SSA
explains how the beneficiary can
request a waiver of recovery of the
overpayment or a change in the
repayment rate. SSA requests the
respondent to submit Form SSA–2032–

information necessary to establish
whether the claimant meets the waiver

3. Methods for Conducting Personal
Conferences When Waiver of Recovery
of a Title II or Title XVI Overpayment
Cannot Be Approved—20 CFR 404.506
& 416.557–0960–0769. SSA conducts
personal conferences when we cannot
approve a waiver of recovery of a Title
II or Title XVI overpayment. The Act
and our regulatory citations require SSA
to give overpaid Social Security
beneficiaries and SSI recipients the right
to request a waiver of recovery and
automatically schedule a personal
conference if we cannot approve their
request for waiver of overpayment. We

conduct these conferences face-to-face,
via telephone, or through video

beneficiaries and SSI recipients or their
representatives may provide documents
to demonstrate they are without fault in

have the ability to repay the debt. They
may submit these documents by
completing Form SSA–632, Request for
Waiver of Overpayment Recovery (OMB

3. Methods for Conducting Personal Conferences When Waiver of

CFR 404.506 & 416.557-0960-0769. SSA conducts personal conferences when
we cannot approve a waiver of recovery of a Title II or Title XVI
overpayment. The Act and our regulatory citations require SSA to give
overpaid Social Security beneficiaries and SSI recipients the right to
request a waiver of recovery and automatically schedule a personal
conference if we cannot approve their request for waiver of
overpayment. We conduct these conferences face-to-face, via telephone,

Person (OMB No. 0960-0045); or through a personal statement submitted
by mail, telephone, personal contact, or other suitable method, such as
fax or email. This information collection satisfies the requirements
for request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment and allows
individuals to pursue further levels of administrative appeal via
personal conference. Respondents are Social Security Title II
