Abstract: The overpaid individual uses the SSA–632–BK to request a waiver of recovery of an overpayment. The individual explains why they feel they are without fault in causing the overpayment and provides financial information, so SSA can determine whether recovery would cause financial hardship. If the individual agrees to repay the overpayment, they can use the SSA–632–BK to inform SSA they want to repay at a monthly rate that would take more than thirty-six months to recover the overpayment. The individual can also use the SSA–632–BK to request a different rate of recovery. In those cases, they must provide financial information to SSA for a determination of how much the overpaid person can afford to repay each month. Respondents are overpaid beneficiaries or claimants who are requesting a waiver of recovery of the overpayment, or a lesser rate of withholding.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is no change in the burden data for the usage of the Form SSA-632-BK. However, we inadvertently did not include the burden data for the instructions which appear on the Internet for the paper SSA-632-BK. These instructions which are accessible from the www.ssa.gov website, help those respondents who are filling out the form without help from field office representatives. We believe that since all of the respondents for the SSA-632-BK have the potential to review these instructions, we have an increase in burden hours of 5 minutes per respondent or 41,666 total burden hour increase.
