Abstract: This non-substantive change request helps clarify language and streamlines the organization of information on the form making it easier for respondents to complete. These changes do not affect the burden. Section 223(d)(4) and Section 1633 of the Social Security Act provide for collection of evidence necessary to determine initial or continuing eligibility for Supplemental Security Income or Social Security disability benefits. An individual's entitlement to benefits ends if he/she demonstrates an ability to perform substantial gainful activity (GSA). This form is used to determine whether work an individual performs in self-employment is at the SGA level. This is a request for approval of non-substantive changes.
