Form SSA-2574 is used to collect
information when an SSI applicant/recipient objects to the
assumption that he/she owns all or part of the funds in a joint
bank account which bears his/her name. Information about the
account is collected from both the SSI claimant and the other
accountholder(s). These statements regarding ownership are required
to determine whether the account is a resource of the SSI claimant,
because the amount of resources a person owns is one of the factors
considered in determining eligibility for SSI.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
