Abstract: SSA uses the Internet Direct Deposit Application to obtain enrollment information from beneficiaries who are interested in Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds Transfer (DD/EFT) of their benefits. We use this Internet application to facilitate DD/EFT of Social Security benefits to a financial institution. The respondents are Social Security beneficiaries who use the Internet to enroll in DD/EFT. This non-substantive Change Request updates our current Internet version, adds currently in-use modalities, and adds a new fraud-indicator function.

Short Statement: We updated the number of respondents for the Internet version to reflect current management information. All of the numbers in the above chart reflect the local management information for 2011. We also believe the number of respondents for Internet services increased due to the agency encouraging the use of electronic services and our population of beneficiaries becoming more comfortable with the use of these electronic services. In addition, as we mentioned above, we are including the burden for those modalities we did not previously include in this information collection.
