SSA uses the information on form SSA-3961 to identify and account for all contributions owed and paid under section 218 of the Social Security Act. The data is used to balance each deposit made by a State and to allocate the deposited contributions by specific liability. The form is ultimately used to provide audit statements to State agencies and to perform trust fund accounting. The respondents are State social security agencies (one agency in each State, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands).
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 following is a summary of the topics, regarding 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 benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
