This collection
of information for this pilot program is approved for an additional
seven months. The study design is appropriate as a feasibility
study to evaluate the utility of a knowledge-based authentication
system for monthly wage reporting in the SSI program. However, in
describing the data collected and the results of the analysis, SSA
will clearly acknowledge the sampling procedures used and indicate
that the data does not provide a representative sample of SSI
participants.

SSA is conducting an SSI wage
reporting pilot to test a knowledge-based authentication system for
collecting wage information from SSI recipients. A sample of
individuals who need to report a change in earned income will call
an SSA toll-free telephone number which will allow them to either
speak their report (voice recognition technology) or key in the
information using the telephone key pad. At the conclusion of the
pilot, SSA will evaluate whether this is an effective method of
reporting the information.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
