SSA announces fee schedule for “nonprogram related” information requests

The Social Security Administration has updated its list of standardized fees for various nonprogram-related information requests.

The SSA does not define a “nonprogram-related” information request other than to state, “[w]hen we release this information for a purpose not related to implementation of our programs, we consider it a nonprogram-related service.” The agency is authorized under Social Security Act §1106 to charge for providing information.

The new standard schedule per request is: Copying an Electronic Folder, $44; Copying a Paper Folder, $79; Third Party Manual SSN Verification, $27; Regional Office Certification, $98; Office of Central Operations Certification, $56; W2/W3 Requests, $37; and Record Extract, $38.

The SSA will continue to charge on a case-by-case basis any nonprogram-related requests for items not listed in the schedule, which became effective on October 1, 2014. The full text of the announcement was published in the October 1, 2014, issue of the Federal Register (79 Fed. Reg. 59341).
