Abstract: SSA collects information used in directing payment of autorized fees and withholdings to attorneys and non-attorneys who represent claiments for benefits before SSA. Congress passed legislation on February 27, 2010, making the temporary extensions permanent on procedures governing attorney and non-attorney representatives' fee payment and fee withholding (Public Law 111-142 “Social Security Disability Applicants’ Access to Professional Representation Act of 2010”). This ICR is for regulation sections covering provisions containing public reporting burdens not covered elsewhere in other OMB-approved ICRs (OMB No. 0960-0699 and 0960-0104).
