SSA seeks comments on proposed information gathering activities

The Social Security Administration is soliciting comments from the public regarding an information gathering activity prior to its submission for clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), as well as for two items that already have been submitted to the OMB for approval.

Specifically, the SSA wants feedback on the need for the information solicited and its practical utility; the accuracy of the agency's burden estimate; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the manner in which the information is collected; and ways to minimize the burden on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

The form and information gathering activities for which comments are sought are listed in a notice in the August 29, 2016, Federal Register (81 Fed. Reg. 59261). Comments may be mailed or faxed to the addresses and numbers listed in that notice.

Comments are due by September 28, 2016, for the following items, which already have been submitted to the OMB for approval: Request for Earnings and Benefit Estimate Statement (SSA-7004) and National Beneficiary Survey.

Comments are due by October 28, 2016, for the following item, which has not yet been submitted to the OMB for approval: Methods for Conducting Personal Conferences When Waiver of Recovery of a Title II or Title XVI Overpayment Cannot Be Approved.
