Abstract: When SSA determines it is not in beneficiaries’ best interests to receive their Social Security benefits payments directly, the Agency will designate a family member, unrelated person, or organization to act as the representative payee for such beneficiaries. Representative payees must account to SSA about how they use these payments on their beneficiaries’ behalf; they use forms SSA-623 (for adult beneficiaries), SSA-6230 (for child beneficiaries), and SSA-6234 (organizational rep payees) to do so. This ICR is for three changes to the collection: 1) we are clearing an Internet version of the Representative Payee Report, 2) we are combining all three paper forms under one OMB number, 0960-0068, and 3) we are making minor formatting changes to the first page of the paper forms' instructions.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The increase in burden is due to our folding in form SSA-6234 into this OMB number. Please note there was no actual burden reduction. There appeared to be one because of the way ROCIS had mistakenly combined two separate forms under one IC.
