Addendum to the Supporting Statement for Form SSA-8202-BK

Statement for Determining Continuing Eligibility for

Supplemental Security Income Payment

20 CFR 416.204

OMB No. 0960-0145

Minor Revisions to the Collection Instrument

SSA is making the following revisions:

• Change #1: We are revising the Privacy Act Statement on this form.

Justification #1: SSA’s Office of the General Counsel is conducting a systematic review of SSA’s Privacy Act Statements on agency forms. As a result, SSA is updating the Privacy Act Statement on the form.

• Change #2: We replaced the old Modernized Supplemental Security Income Claims System (MSSICS) screens with the Intranet-based SSI Claims System screens.

Justification #2: As we previously mentioned, SSA is systematically removing the old MSSICS screens and replacing them with the new SSI Claims System screens. The new screens ask exactly the same questions in the same order as the old screens, but they are easier to read. Since SSA employees use these screens during personal interviews with claimants, there is no change to the public reporting burden for switching to the new screens. The SSA employees need to take the same amount of time to read the questions and record the answers as they did using the MSSICS screens. The SSI Claims System screens are merely more user friendly.
