The increased volume of documents sent to our field offices presented an enormous challenge to SSA, as we had limited staff on site to process the mail at that time. This limited the time the field office staff had to review and process those submissions or work directly with the public. To lessen the burden on front-line employees and managers, allow staff more time to work with the public and process the information we receive, and to modernize form submission and document intake, we are creating a new service called eSubmit. eSubmit SSA is introducing eSubmit, a new way individuals can submit evidence and forms to SSA online. In the digital age, individuals expect to complete transactions online, including submission of documents and forms to government agencies. The agency already offers several self-service specific options for individuals to submit forms and other documents online, including the Electronic Protective Filing Tool, ePFT (OMB No. 0960–0826), internet Social Security Benefits Application, iClaim (OMB No. 0960–0618), and iAppeals (OMB No. 0960–0269 & 0960–0622). eSubmit is a secure upload portal which respondents will use to submit documents and forms to SSA. To ensure the success of eSubmit, we will roll out the new application in several phases. The first phase will allow respondents to provide select documents (evidence that does not need to be certified or evidence which the agency does not require to be an original, also known collectively as ‘‘non original documentation,’’ and first-party forms that do not require a signature) to SSA electronically. Individuals must provide this information themselves since they will have to authenticate with their own information through one of several authentication methods (i.e., Login.gov, ID.me, or SSA’s Public Credentialing and Authentication Process). During this initial phase for eSubmit, we will ask the individual to be in contact, via a telephone or face-to-face interview, with SSA for a business matter (e.g., filing a claim, performing a E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM 01MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 40 / Wednesday, March 1, 2023 / Notices redetermination, or updating their personal information). During the interaction, the SSA technician will inform the individual verbally that SSA requires additional information to support their request and will offer the opportunity to provide the information electronically via the eSubmit application. After the individual grants consent to receive an email from SSA, the technician will send an email with the link to eSubmit along with instructions on how to access eSubmit. The system will only make the electronic submission process available for up to 30 days from the date of the email. Concurrently, the system will generate a paper notice containing more details about the request, and the SSA technician will send it through postal mail to the respondent. Once the respondent authenticates and arrives at the eSubmit dashboard, the system will present the respondent with information regarding the items SSA requested for submission (examples of the documentation SSA may request includes forms or non-standardized evidence to support the request [e.g., pay stubs, bank statements, pension award letters, tax documents, child support payment history, etc.]). From 13005 this screen, the individual will be able to upload the corresponding files from an electronic device. Once they finish uploading the documents, the respondents must select the Submit button to complete the action and the system will present them with an indicator of success or failure. The system will also notify the technician who requested the document that the document is available for review and consideration. Respondents are firstparty individuals who choose to use the internet to conduct business with us. Type of Request: Request for a new information collection.

Background

    From March 17, 2020, through April 7, 2022, because of the 
Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency, SSA encouraged the 
public to use our online and automated telephone services while we 
offered limited in-person services in field offices. The increased 
volume of documents sent to our field offices presented an enormous 
challenge to SSA, as we had limited staff on site to process the mail 
at that time. This limited the time the field office staff had to 
review and process those submissions or work directly with the public. 
To lessen the burden on front-line employees and managers, allow staff 
more time to work with the public and process the information we 
receive, and to modernize form submission and document intake, we are 
creating a new service called eSubmit.

eSubmit

    SSA is introducing eSubmit, a new way individuals can submit 
evidence and forms to SSA online. In the digital age, individuals 
expect to complete transactions online, including submission of 
documents and forms to government agencies. The agency already offers 
several self-service specific options for individuals to submit forms 
and other documents online, including the Electronic Protective Filing 
Tool, ePFT (OMB No. 0960-0826), internet Social Security Benefits 
Application, iClaim (OMB No. 0960-0618), and iAppeals (OMB No. 0960-
0269 & 0960-0622).
    eSubmit is a secure upload portal which respondents will use to 
submit documents and forms to SSA. To ensure the success of eSubmit, we 
will roll out the new application in several phases. The first phase 
will allow respondents to provide select documents (evidence that does 
not need to be certified or evidence which the agency does not require

to SSA electronically. Individuals must provide this information

Process).

to be in contact, via a telephone or face-to-face interview, with SSA

interaction, the SSA technician will inform the individual verbally 
that SSA requires additional information to support their request and 
will offer the opportunity to provide the information electronically

individual will be able to upload the corresponding files from an

respondents must select the Submit button to complete the action and 
the system will present them with an indicator of success or failure.

to conduct business with us.
