The Social Security Administration uses information it collects on Form SSA-445 to determine whether to authorize or deny permission to collect fees for payee services. The respondents are private sector businesses or State and local government offices applying to become a fee-for-service organizational representative payee.
Before ROCIS, we were not able to separate the information collections. ROCIS shows a change in the burden due to the separation of IC's however, there is no increase/decrease in the burden.
