Abstract: SSA uses Form SSA-8001-BK to determine an applicant’s eligibility for SSI and SSI payment amounts. SSA employees also collect this information during interviews with members of the public who wish to file for SSI. SSA uses the information for two purposes: (1) to formally deny SSI for nonmedical reasons when information the applicant provides results in ineligibility; or (2) to establish a disability claim, but defer the complete development of non-medical issues until SSA approves the disability. The respondents are applicants for SSI payments.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in burden hours is due to an increase in the number of respondents applying for benefits. iClaim allows a defined group of Title II disability applicants the ability to include an SSI deferred application with their Title II disability iClaim application. Since iClaim is the collection method for these deferred applications, we are capturing these respondents in the iClaim burden information for OMB No. 0960-0618. However, we have a collection method titled “iClaim/SSI Claims System” which represents the burden information for SSI deferred applications that originate in iClaim but require SSA to collect additional information from the SSA-8001-BK in SSI Claims System. We are providing an estimate of respondents for this collection method based on the number of Title II disability iClaims filed in FY 2017 that resulted in concurrent applications and became SSI only claims due to technical ineligibility for Title II. We do not expect the burden response time to change for these respondents.
