Form SSA-1713 collects information
regarding whether, how and when a Canadian bank was able to return
erroneous payments made after the death of a beneficiary who
elected to have payments sent to Canada. The SSA-1713 is sent with
the SSA-1712, an SSA-generated cover sheet which provides the
Canadian bank with information regarding the deceased beneficiary.
In this way, SSA can reclaim funds which were erroneously paid. The
respondents are Canadian financial institutions to which Social
Security payments have been made.
Form SSA-1713 is currently in
use without an OMB number. This information collection, which was
inadvertently in use without OMB approval, was discovered in April
2006, and this clearance package was compiled to bring it into
compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act.
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.
