This ICR is approved on the understanding that respondents do not have to supply the same information twice (once to state agencies and then again to SSA OMVE), even though the supporting statement suggests otherwise. Rather, at the point in time that this information is being collected, it is either collected by the state DDS (because they are processing the case) or it is collected by OMVE (because we are processing the case), not by both.

The claimants have the right to be reimbursed for their travel expenses to and from a consultative examination (CE). In order to be reimbursed, the claimants must submit an itemized list of what they spent to travel round trip to the CE. The SSA-104 is sent to the claimants with the CE appointment notice. If the claimants want to be reimbursed for their travel expenses, they must complete, sign and return the SSA-104 to SSA. SSA uses the information collected on this form to determine the amount of reimbursement. Respondents are applicants for disability claims.
