Abstract: A small percentage of an individual's earnings are reported to SSA without a social security number (SSN) or with an incorrect name or SSN. SSA must write to the individual or to the employer asking for correction of the missing or incorrect information. These forms have been designed by SSA to meet this requirement. The respondents are self-employed individuals, employees, or an employee's employer, in situations where SSA is unable to identify the individual based on the information submitted.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is not a increase in burden, when we separated the IC's the system is showing it as a increase. There is actually an decrease in the burden due to the decrease of the beneficiary population. The change in the public reporting burden is due to the following; The Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS) allows employers to verify employee names and SSNs via a secure Internet-based system. SSNVS may have somewhat of an impact on the decrease since it offers an immediate and efficient verification process. However, the burden reduction by SSNVS was probably minor since there are only 31,000+ employers registered. A contributing factor could be that since the DECOR process is not mandatory, our customers are not obligated to return their responses.
