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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in the burden estimate from 201,113 to 100,337 is due to the DDSs completing fewer Supplemental Security Income disability reviews. The number of forms completed is based on the number claims filed and the amount of funding given for the processing of these claims. SSA’s budget estimates indicate a decline in the number of responses, therefore resulting in a burden reduction.
