Addendum to the Supporting Statement for Form SSA-8508 BK

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)-

Quality Review Case Analysis

OMB No. 0960-0133




Minor Revisions to the Collection Instrument


SSA is making the following revisions:


We are revising the PRA statement to reflect our current boilerplate language.  The current language, which dates back to the last reprint of the form, is now outdated.


SSA’s Office of the General Counsel is conducting a systematic review of SSA’s Privacy Act Statements on agency forms. As a result, SSA is updating the Privacy Act Statement on the first page of the form.


Revisions to the Collection Instrument


Page #3 (Element 2-Verification Column)


  • Change: We are removing the “Allegation accepted. Age is not material.” from the Verification column.


Justification: We will prove age in each case.


  • Change: We are removing “Allegation of Citizenship by U.S. birth accepted.” from the verification column.


Justification: We will prove citizenship in each case.


Page #3 (Element 2-Conclusion Column)


  • Change: We are removing “Allegation of Age Accepted” from the conclusion column.


  • Justification: We will prove age in each case.


Page #13 (Element 6-Verification)


  • Change: We are removing the “VA” box from the verification column.


Justification: We will verify VA in each case.


Upon approval of these changes, SSA’s Forms Management Team will format the revised SSA-8508-BK to make sure it follows the agency’s formatting.

In this ICR, we are requesting clearance of a new electronic version of form SSA-8508-BK. The electronic version will be in Excel format. Interviewers will complete the electronic version (e8508) on Tablet PC’s which will:


  • Provide multiple iterations of a screen for a comprehensive view of the data provided by the recipient (e.g., Element 6/Living Arrangements allows the reviewer to document six living arrangement changes).

  • Provide drop down fields and copy functions (e.g., click on labels to copy data in the alleged column fields to the verified column fields if data is a match) to limit the need for typing.

  • Perform calculations, reducing mathematical errors.

  • Generate appropriate screens and propagate data (e.g., names and addresses) to subsequent screens based on answers provided by the respondents, thereby, eliminating unnecessary questions, or duplicating data.

  • Safeguard the respondent’s personally identifiable information.
