Justification for Non-Substantive Changes to the Resubmission of the Collection within One Year of Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Approval
Background
We are implementing the below changes within one year of OMB’s approval, because we developed the myWageReport (myWR) application using a method which focuses on adaptability and user satisfaction, and is broken into incremental builds. These updates incorporate enhancements and respond to myWR user needs.
With the roll out of the Individual Representative Payee Portal (IRPP) within the
my Social Security application, and the navigation path enhancement for myWR application, we are updating language to provide clarity to the user. The changes included in this packet clarify language displayed to the self-reporter and Representative Payee user. The navigation path will contain language changes and the introduce modals/screens that provide clarity to the user. The new screens will display specific information for Title II, Title XVI, and Concurrent beneficiaries and reporters.
