1. New Applicant Survey (NAS)—
0960–NEW. Background: The Social
Security Administration (SSA) provides
income assistance to more than 13
million working-age adults and children
with disabilities through the Social
Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
programs. To evaluate these
respondents as they navigate SSA’s
application process, we are
implementing the New Applicant
Survey (NAS). The objective of the New
Applicant Survey (NAS) is to provide
SSA’s Office of Research,
Demonstration, and Employment
Support (ORDES) with information
about recent applicants’ experience at
different stages or touchpoints in the
disability application process. SSA will
use findings from the survey to inform
testable policy interventions to improve
the application experience for applicant.
NAS Description: The primary goal of
NAS is to help SSA improve our current
application process through the use of
feedback from the public who use it.
The research questions and survey will
allow SSA to evaluate current practices
and improve upon them. Ultimately, we
expect the purpose of this survey will
help SSA to implement a better overall
application experience for respondents,
as they use SSA’s systems.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 2024 / Notices
To provide information to SSA
regarding applicants’ experiences at the
different touchpoints in the disability
application process, SSA’s evaluation
will include the following analysis
components:
• Comparison of Characteristics:
Comparing characteristics of nonrespondents (or the total sample) to
those of respondents using information
available for both non-respondents and
respondents.
• Modeling: Modeling response
propensity using multivariate analyses,
including observation and analysis of
several outcome variables.
• Evaluation of Differences:
Evaluating differences found in
comparisons between unadjusted (i.e.,
base-) weighted estimates of selected
sampling frame characteristics based on
the survey respondents and the
corresponding population (frame)
parameter.
• Comparison of Estimates:
Comparing weighted survey estimates
(e.g., selected error rates by type) using
unadjusted (base) weights versus
nonresponse-adjusted weights.
We expect the NAS will help SSA
answer the following research
questions:
• What are the pre- and postapplication employment experiences of
awarded and denied SSDI and SSI
applicants?
• What employment-, vocational-,
medical-, or income-related services and
supports did applicants use leading up
to and since application?
• What sources of information about
SSDI or SSI did the applicant use or
have access to?
• What were the applicants’
experiences with representation during
the application or post-application
periods?
SSA will conduct this survey with
10,000 respondents nationally. SSA will
provide a list of recent adult applicants
who have applied for Social Security
disability benefits to the contractor to
use for sample selection. To ensure that
sampled applicants have recent
experiences with the application
process, we will restrict the target

formatting on the paper instrument
which will also allow the respondents
to skip questions based on previous
responses; however, they will be able to
see all of the questions (which is not the
case on the internet and telephone
versions).
The survey questions will focus on
the following applicant experiences:
• Touchpoints in the application
process completed and applicants’
experience with the most recent
touchpoints;
• Use of appointed representatives;
• Actions taken when applicants
receive an unfavorable SSA decision;
• Use of and experience with SSA
services;
• Recommendations for
improvements to the application
process;
• Personal financial environment
including use of assistance programs;
• Personal support system; and
• Demographic information.
SSA will use the information we
collect from this survey to understand
applicants’ experiences at different
stages in the application process, as well
as the types of SSA services applicants
accessed, and to evaluate changes to the
application process that could
potentially improve applicants’
experience.
We will encourage respondents to
complete the survey via the internet
modality, but will not restrict them, or
penalize respondents who choose a
different method (paper or telephone).
We will require informed consent for all
participants.
Ultimately, we expect the survey will
help SSA to implement a better overall
application experience for respondents,
as they use SSA’s systems.
The respondents are current SSA
beneficiaries who have undergone the
application process; individuals to
whom SSA denied benefits; applicants
for Social Security services in various
stages of the application process, and
their representatives (as applicable).
Type of Request: Request for a new
information collection.
population to those who have applied,
appealed, or received a determination in
the six months prior to sampling. The
sample will include individuals to
whom SSA awarded benefits
(beneficiaries), those to whom SSA
denied benefits, as well as applicants
who remain at different stages of the
application process.
For this survey, we will use the
following methods for recruitment:
• SSA Announcement
• Email to Appointed Representative
from Appointed Representative
Associations
• Email to Appointed Representative
(Directly)
• First USPS Mailing to All Applicants,
which will include a small cash
incentive of $2, a letter, and an
information sheet
• Second USPS Mailing to All
Applicants
• Third USPS Mailing to
Nonrespondents
• Fourth USPS Mailing to
Nonrespondents
• Fifth contact introducing the
telephone modality.
As part of recruitment, we will also
conduct experiments regarding more
cash incentives, invitations to complete
the survey using multiple modalities
(internet, paper, telephone), as well as
an early-bird incentive.
The Survey Instrument: The survey
asks questions that focus on the
applicant’s experience with different
aspects of the application process. We
will use it to collect data from 10,000
new applicants at different touchpoints
in the application process to understand
applicant experiences at each stage and
obtain the information needed to
address the research questions.
To accommodate respondent
preferences, we will create three
modalities of the survey instrument:
internet-based, automated-telephone,
and paper. The internet and telephone
versions will have essentially the same
design as these modalities, by using
dynamic pathing. This will facilitate the
automatic skipping of questions based
on the respondents’ earlier responses.
We will include instructions and

2. Statutory Benefit Continuation
Election Statement—20 CFR 404.1597a,
and 416.996—0960–NEW. Sections
223(g) and 1631(a)(7) of the Social
Security Act (Act) provide that, when a
disability Title II beneficiary or Title
XVI recipient requests an appeal of a
Social Security Administration’s (SSA)
determination stating that their physical
or mental impairment(s) ceased or is no
longer disabling during a continuing
disability review (CDR), the individual
has the right to request disability
benefits continue during their appeal.
This process, known as Statutory
Benefit Continuation (SBC), follows
regulations set forth in 20 CFR
404.1597a(f) and 416.996(c–d) of the
Code of Federal Regulations (Code).
Currently, when SSA determines an
individual’s disability ceased or is no
longer disabling, SSA sends the
individual a notice of benefit
termination informing them within 10
days after receipt of the notice their
disability benefits will end, and they
must submit in writing, or use Form
SSA–795, Statement of Claimant or
Other Person (OMB No. 0960–0045), to
complete a statement to elect or decline
continuation of benefits. However, Form
SSA–795 does not specifically address
SBC elections, which often leads to
incomplete submissions for those cases.
For SBC cases, SSA’s field office staff
frequently need to follow-up with
individuals to clarify their election or
explain the available options. The SBC
election is effective until SSA makes the
determination or decision at the
applicable appeal level. SSA requires
the individual to make a separate
election at each level of appeal, through
the hearing level before an
administrative law judge (ALJ). SBC is
not available at the appeals council (AC)
or federal court levels; however, if the
AC remands a case back to the ALJ
hearing level, and the individual did not
previously elect SBC, SSA grants the
individual another opportunity to make
an SBC election at that time. If the
individual elected SBC at a prior ALJ
hearing level, the field office (FO)
automatically reinstates SBC after the
AC sends the case to the hearing office.
The FO reinstates benefits retroactive to
the first month of non-payment
resulting from the now vacated prior
ALJ decision. A claimant has two
opportunities to elect SBC during the
appeal process: (1) the claimant can
request SBC when appealing at the
reconsideration level and then again at
the hearing level, and (2) the claimant

The following individuals are eligible
for SCB: SSI recipients whose benefits

disability beneficiary, disabled widow
or widowers, disabled adult children;
mothers or fathers receiving benefits
based on having a disabled adult child
in their care, and mothers or fathers
receiving benefits based on having in
their care a child under age 18 but over
age 15 who is disabled and receiving
child’s benefits.
SSA is requesting OMB approval of
Form SSA–792, Statutory Benefit
Continuation Election Statement to
standardize our collection of an
individual’s benefit continuation
election choice. Form SSA–792 will
allow the individual to elect from a
variety of options available to them for
continued disability benefits and
Medicare coverage. The respondents are
Title II and Title XVI disability
beneficiaries and recipients and Title II
auxiliaries.

5. Prohibition of Payment of SSI
Benefits to Fugitive Felons and Parole/
Probation Violators—20 CFR
416.708(o)—0960–0617. Section
1611(e)(4) of the Act precludes
eligibility for SSI payments for certain
fugitives and probation or parole
violators. Our regulation at 20 CFR
416.708(o) requires individuals
applying for, or receiving SSI to report
to SSA that: (1) they are fleeing to avoid
prosecution for a crime; (2) they are
fleeing to avoid custody or confinement
after conviction of a crime; or (3) they
are violating a condition of probation or
parole. SSA uses the information we
receive to determine eligibility on an
initial claim for SSI payments or a
redetermination of existing recipients.
The collection is mandatory to ensure
that an applicant or recipient does not
have a warrant for one of the three
fleeing codes. If the respondent has a
warrant for one of the three fleeing
codes, SSA uses this information to
deny payments. The respondents are
SSI applicants and recipients, or their
representative payees, who are reporting
their status as a fugitive felon or
probation or parole violator.

1. New Applicant Survey (NAS)--0960-NEW. Background: The Social
Security Administration (SSA) provides income assistance to more than
13 million working-age adults and children with disabilities through
the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) programs. To evaluate these respondents as they
navigate SSA's application process, we are implementing the New
Applicant Survey (NAS). The objective of the New Applicant Survey (NAS)
is to provide SSA's Office of Research, Demonstration, and Employment
Support (ORDES) with information about recent applicants' experience at
different stages or touchpoints in the disability application process.
SSA will use findings from the survey to inform testable policy
interventions to improve the application experience for applicant.
NAS Description: The primary goal of NAS is to help SSA improve our
current application process through the use of feedback from the public
who use it. The research questions and survey will allow SSA to
evaluate current practices and improve upon them. Ultimately, we expect
the purpose of this survey will help SSA to implement a better overall
application experience for respondents, as they use SSA's systems.
[[Page 84432]]
To provide information to SSA regarding applicants' experiences at
the different touchpoints in the disability application process, SSA's
evaluation will include the following analysis components:
Comparison of Characteristics: Comparing characteristics
of non-respondents (or the total sample) to those of respondents using
information available for both non-respondents and respondents.
Modeling: Modeling response propensity using multivariate
analyses, including observation and analysis of several outcome
variables.
Evaluation of Differences: Evaluating differences found in
comparisons between unadjusted (i.e., base-) weighted estimates of
selected sampling frame characteristics based on the survey respondents
and the corresponding population (frame) parameter.
Comparison of Estimates: Comparing weighted survey
estimates (e.g., selected error rates by type) using unadjusted (base)
weights versus nonresponse-adjusted weights.
We expect the NAS will help SSA answer the following research
questions:
What are the pre- and post-application employment
experiences of awarded and denied SSDI and SSI applicants?
What employment-, vocational-, medical-, or income-related
services and supports did applicants use leading up to and since
application?
What sources of information about SSDI or SSI did the
applicant use or have access to?
What were the applicants' experiences with representation
during the application or post-application periods?
SSA will conduct this survey with 10,000 respondents nationally.
SSA will provide a list of recent adult applicants who have applied for
Social Security disability benefits to the contractor to use for sample
selection. To ensure that sampled applicants have recent experiences
with the application process, we will restrict the target population to
those who have applied, appealed, or received a determination in the
six months prior to sampling. The sample will include individuals to
whom SSA awarded benefits (beneficiaries), those to whom SSA denied
benefits, as well as applicants who remain at different stages of the
application process.
For this survey, we will use the following methods for recruitment:
SSA Announcement
Email to Appointed Representative from Appointed
Representative Associations
Email to Appointed Representative (Directly)
First USPS Mailing to All Applicants, which will include a
small cash incentive of $2, a letter, and an information sheet
Second USPS Mailing to All Applicants
Third USPS Mailing to Nonrespondents
Fourth USPS Mailing to Nonrespondents
Fifth contact introducing the telephone modality.
As part of recruitment, we will also conduct experiments regarding
more cash incentives, invitations to complete the survey using multiple
modalities (internet, paper, telephone), as well as an early-bird
incentive.
The Survey Instrument: The survey asks questions that focus on the
applicant's experience with different aspects of the application
process. We will use it to collect data from 10,000 new applicants at
different touchpoints in the application process to understand
applicant experiences at each stage and obtain the information needed
to address the research questions.
To accommodate respondent preferences, we will create three
modalities of the survey instrument: internet-based, automated-
telephone, and paper. The internet and telephone versions will have
essentially the same design as these modalities, by using dynamic
pathing. This will facilitate the automatic skipping of questions based
on the respondents' earlier responses. We will include instructions and
formatting on the paper instrument which will also allow the
respondents to skip questions based on previous responses; however,
they will be able to see all of the questions (which is not the case on
the internet and telephone versions).
The survey questions will focus on the following applicant
experiences:
Touchpoints in the application process completed and
applicants' experience with the most recent touchpoints;
Use of appointed representatives;
Actions taken when applicants receive an unfavorable SSA
decision;
Use of and experience with SSA services;
Recommendations for improvements to the application
process;
Personal financial environment including use of assistance
programs;
Personal support system; and
Demographic information.
SSA will use the information we collect from this survey to
understand applicants' experiences at different stages in the
application process, as well as the types of SSA services applicants
accessed, and to evaluate changes to the application process that could
potentially improve applicants' experience.
We will encourage respondents to complete the survey via the
internet modality, but will not restrict them, or penalize respondents
who choose a different method (paper or telephone). We will require
informed consent for all participants.
Ultimately, we expect the survey will help SSA to implement a
better overall application experience for respondents, as they use
SSA's systems.
The respondents are current SSA beneficiaries who have undergone
the application process; individuals to whom SSA denied benefits;
applicants for Social Security services in various stages of the
application process, and their representatives (as applicable).
Type of Request: Request for a new information collection.

* We base this figure on the Federal minimum wage of $7.25, as survey participants will have recently applied for SSA disability benefits and will
typically not have started receiving benefits yet (https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/minimumwage).
Note: Our contractor will schedule an appointment to call the recipient at their preferred date and time; therefore, the respondents will not incur an
average wait time.

these are theoretical opportunity costs for the additional time respondents will spend to complete the application. There is no actual charge to
respondents to complete the application.
2. Statutory Benefit Continuation Election Statement--20 CFR
404.1597a, and 416.996--0960-NEW. Sections 223(g) and 1631(a)(7) of the
Social Security Act (Act) provide that, when a disability Title II
beneficiary or Title XVI recipient requests an appeal of a Social
Security Administration's (SSA) determination stating that their
physical or mental impairment(s) ceased or is no longer disabling
during a continuing disability review (CDR), the individual has the
right to request disability benefits continue during their appeal. This
process, known as Statutory Benefit Continuation (SBC), follows
regulations set forth in 20 CFR 404.1597a(f) and 416.996(c-d) of the
Code of Federal Regulations (Code). Currently, when SSA determines an
individual's disability ceased or is no longer disabling, SSA sends the
individual a notice of benefit termination informing them within 10
days after receipt of the notice their disability benefits will end,
and they must submit in writing, or use Form SSA-795, Statement of
Claimant or Other Person (OMB No. 0960-0045), to complete a statement
to elect or decline continuation of benefits. However, Form SSA-795
does not specifically address SBC elections, which often leads to
incomplete submissions for those cases. For SBC cases, SSA's field
office staff frequently need to follow-up with individuals to clarify
their election or explain the available options. The SBC election is
effective until SSA makes the determination or decision at the
applicable appeal level. SSA requires the individual to make a separate
election at each level of appeal, through the hearing level before an
administrative law judge (ALJ). SBC is not available at the appeals
council (AC) or federal court levels; however, if the AC remands a case
back to the ALJ hearing level, and the individual did not previously
elect SBC, SSA grants the individual another opportunity to make an SBC
election at that time. If the individual elected SBC at a prior ALJ
hearing level, the field office (FO) automatically reinstates SBC after
the AC sends the case to the hearing office. The FO reinstates benefits
retroactive to the first month of non-payment resulting from the now
vacated prior ALJ decision. A claimant has two opportunities to elect
SBC during the appeal process: (1) the claimant can request SBC when
appealing at the reconsideration level and then again at the hearing
level, and (2) the claimant can request SBC at the hearing level only.
The following individuals are eligible for SCB: SSI recipients
whose benefits are based on disability or blindness; primary disability
insurance beneficiaries; auxiliaries receiving benefits on the record
of a primary disability beneficiary, disabled widow or widowers,
disabled adult children; mothers or fathers receiving benefits based on
having a disabled adult child in their care, and mothers or fathers
receiving benefits based on having in their care a child under age 18
but over age 15 who is disabled and receiving child's benefits.
SSA is requesting OMB approval of Form SSA-792, Statutory Benefit
Continuation Election Statement to standardize our collection of an
individual's benefit continuation election choice. Form SSA-792 will
allow the individual to elect from a variety of options available to
them for continued disability benefits and Medicare coverage. The
respondents are Title II and Title XVI disability beneficiaries and
recipients and Title II auxiliaries.
Type of Request: Request for a new information collection.

3. Disability Report-Appeal--20 CFR 404.1512, 416.912, 404.916(c),
416.1416(c), 422.140, 404.1713, 416.1513, 404.1740(b)(4),
416.1540(b)(4), and 405 Subpart C--0960-0144. SSA requires disability
applicants who wish to appeal an unfavorable determination to complete
Form SSA-3441-BK; the associated Electronic Disability Collect System
(EDCS) interview; or the internet application, i3441. This allows
claimants to disclose any changes to their disability, or resources,
which might influence SSA's unfavorable determination. SSA may use the
information to: (1) reconsider and review an initial disability
determination; (2) review a continuing disability; and (3) evaluate a
request for a hearing. This information assists the State Disability
Determination Services (DDS) and ALJ in preparing for the appeals and
hearings, and in issuing a determination or decision on an individual's
entitlement (initial or continuing) to disability benefits. In
addition, the information we collect on the SSA-3441-BK, or related
modalities, facilitates SSA's collection of medical information to
support the applicant's request for reconsideration; request for
benefits cessation appeal; and request for a hearing before an ALJ.
Respondents are individuals who appeal denial, reduction, or cessation
of Social Security disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income
(SSI) payments; individuals who wish to request a hearing before an
ALJ; or their representatives.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information
collection.

4. Request for 800# Automated Telephone Services Knowledge-Based
Authentication (RISA-KBA)--20 CFR 401.45--0960-0596. The Request for
800# Automated Telephone Services Knowledge-Based Authentication is the
knowledge-based authentication method SSA uses to allow individuals
access to their personal information through our Automated Telephone
Services. SSA's system asks requestors using the automated telephone
services to provide additional identifying information unique to those
individuals so SSA can authenticate their identities before releasing
personal information. The system requests this unique identifying
information to authenticate both individuals and third parties who use
our automated telephone system to seek personal information from SSA
records, or to make changes to SSA records. The respondents are current
beneficiaries, or third parties who use the automated telephone system
to request personal information from SSA.

5. Prohibition of Payment of SSI Benefits to Fugitive Felons and
Parole/Probation Violators--20 CFR 416.708(o)--0960-0617. Section
1611(e)(4) of the Act precludes eligibility for SSI payments for
certain fugitives and probation or parole violators. Our regulation at
20 CFR 416.708(o) requires individuals applying for, or receiving SSI
to report to SSA that: (1) they are fleeing to avoid prosecution for a
crime; (2) they are fleeing to avoid custody or confinement after
conviction of a crime; or (3) they are violating a condition of
probation or parole. SSA uses the information we receive to determine
eligibility on an initial claim for SSI payments or a redetermination
of existing recipients. The collection is mandatory to ensure that an
applicant or recipient does not have a warrant for one of the three
fleeing codes. If the respondent has a warrant for one of the three
fleeing codes, SSA uses this information to deny payments. The
respondents are SSI applicants and recipients, or their representative
payees, who are reporting their status as a fugitive felon or probation
or parole violator.

Regulations at 20 CFR 403.100-403.155 of the Code establish SSA's
policies and procedures
[[Page 84435]]
for an individual; organization; or government entity to request
official agency information, records, or testimony of an agency
employee in a legal proceeding when the agency is not a party. The
request, which respondents submit in writing to SSA, must: (1) fully
set out the nature and relevance of the sought testimony; (2) explain
why the information is not available by other means; (3) explain why it
is in SSA's interest to provide the testimony; and (4) provide the
date, time, and place for the testimony. Respondents are individuals or
entities who request testimony from SSA employees in connection with a
legal proceeding.
