The Social Security Administration's citizen authentication process enables a new user experience and access to more electronic services. Authentication is the foundation for secure, online transactions. Identity authentication is the process of determining, with confidence, that someone is who he or she claims to be during a remote, automated session. It comprises three distinct factors: something you know, something you have, and something you are. Single-factor authentication uses one of the factors, and multi-factor authentication uses two or more of the factors. Social Security's process features credential issuance, account management, and single- and multi-factor authentication. We allow our users to maintain one User ID, which consists of a self-selected Username and Password, to access multiple Social Security electronic services. This process provides the means for authenticating users of Social Security's sensitive electronic services and streamlines access to those services. The respondents are individuals who choose to use the Internet or Automated Telephone Response System to conduct business with SSA. This is a non-substantive change to inform OMB of the tranfer of the Internet SSA-1099/SSA-1042S from 0960-0583 to 0960-0789 (as per the Change Request for 0960-0583 which OMB approved on 12/22/14).

The burden increase is due to the inclusion of the new applications described in the Addendum. The burden has also increased as more people register for a credential and use it to come online to do business with us. In addition, as fewer people use our interview process, and more use the Internet process to register, we increased the burden for the Internet version and decreased it for the Intranet version. Eventually, this identity verification, public credentialing, and authentication process will absorb and replace the existing authentication collections under OMB Control Numbers 0960-0596 and 0960-0626. (OMB Control Number 0960-0632 was decommissioned last year). We plan to accomplish this work through a series of annual releases. The future releases will reduce the burdens in the other existing authentication collections. SSA will continue to prepare change requests for the other existing authentication collections, as needed.
