OMB No. 0960-0618

Non-Substantive Revisions to the iClaim Collection Instrument:

We are making the following enhanced changes to the iClaim functionality. The attached iClaim screen shots reflect these changes.

We made changes to related screens to accommodate new functionalities to improve the transition to the Internet Disability Report, i3368 (OMB Control No. 0960-0579). The new screens and changes include a re-organization of the “Receipt” and “What’s Next” pages.

Below is a summary of changes and additions for the iClaim screens included in this Information Collection Request:

• Improving the transition for disability applicants to connect to the Internet Disability Report (i3368) – We made changes to the Internet Application Summary, specifically:

• The Receipt Section – We added an “Evidence” section to this page to provide more detailed Information and visibility. (Modified Screen #1, pg. 1)

• The What’s Next? Screen – We added new language, links and graphics to emphasize the completion of the Internet Adult Disability report (i3368). However, if the system identifies that the respondent already submitted the i3368, it will not present these screens. (Modified Screen #2, pg. 2)

SSA anticipates no changes in the public reporting burden due to these revisions. We intend to implement these revisions by August 21, 2010, after we receive OMB approval.
