Abstract: When SSA imposes a civil monetary penalty (CMP) on individuals for various fraudulent conduct related to SSA-administrated programs, those individuals may request to pay the CMP through benefit withholding, or an installment agreement. To negotiate a monthly payment amount, fair to both the individual and the agency, SSA needs financial information from the individual. The agency uses Form SSA-640 to obtain the information necessary to determine a monthly installment repayment rate for individuals owing a CMP. The respondents are recipients of Social Security benefits and nonentitled individuals who must repay a CMP to the agency and choose to do so using an installment plan.

Short Statement: When we last cleared this information collection in 2015, the burden was 800 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 20 hours. This change stems from overestimation of usage of the form. As we now have better management information data, we based our updated estimate on the current data which is much more accurate than our previous estimate. There is no change to the burden time per response. Although the number of responses changed, SSA did not take any actions to cause this change.
