Addendum to Supporting Statement for

Prohibition of Payment of SSI Benefits to

Fugitive Felons and Parole/Probation Violators

20 CFR 416.708(o)

OMB No. 0960-0617

Revision to the Collection Instrument

SSA is making the following revisions:

• Change #1: We incorporated the old Law Enforcement (ALEF) screen questions into the new Parole or Probation Violation Warrant (AWRP) and Felony Warrant (AWRF) screens. We are discontinuing the ALEF screen is now obsolete.

Justification #1: With the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Modernization project (implemented March 2017), the ALEF screen is no longer in the SSI claims path. The ALEF opening questions will display on each warrant page (AWRP and AWRF). Both warrant screens contain leading questions that were formally located on the Law Enforcement (ALEF) screen.

• Change #2: We incorporated the consolidated AWRP and AWRF screens into the new, Internet‑based version, which also includes pop-up windows.

Justification #2: The AWRF - Felony Warrant page captures information pertaining to a claimant or eligible spouse’s status as a Fugitive Felon. The AWRP - Parole or Probation Violation (PPV) Warrant page captures information pertaining to a claimant or eligible spouse’s status as a Parole or Probation Violator.

When we collect warrant information, both pages present pop-up windows to input the data. Once we save the data in the pop-up window, the Felony Warrant table OR the Parole or Probation Violation Warrant table shows the data, each on its respective page (Felony OR Parole or Probation).

Creating a Different Modality of Your IC

In this ICR, we are requesting clearance of a new, Internet-based version of the AWRP and AWRF screens, using our new web-based SSI Claim System.

SSA will implement the changes above upon OMB approval.

These actions do not affect the public reporting burden.
