Combined Addendums for English Final Rule - RIN 0960-AH86

Addendum to the Supporting Statement for Form SSA-454-BK
Continuing Disability Review Report
20 CFR 404.1589 & 416.989
OMB No. 0960-0072
Background
This is a request for modification of the Form SSA-454-BK, Continuing Disability
Review Report, related to new regulation, Removing the Education Category - Inability
to Communicate in English - from the Disability Determination Process, RIN
0960-AH86. This new regulation is eliminating one of the five existing education
categories, namely the “inability to communicate in English” (20 CFR 404.1564 and
416.964). The new regulation does not affect the other educational categories. We
amended the Medical Vocational Guidelines in 20 CFR Part 404, Subpart P Appendix 2,
as appropriate, under the new regulations.
The effect of this regulation is to remove the consideration of English proficiency when
determining a claimant’s education category. We will consider the claimant’s actual
education attained without regard to the claimant’s proficiency in the use of English and
assign the claimant to one of the four remaining education categories, as appropriate:
illiteracy; marginal education; limited education; and high school education and above.
Sections 223(d)(2)(A) and 1614(a)(3)(B) of the Act require SSA to consider a claimant’s
education when determining an adult’s claim of disability. Sections 205(a) and
1631(d)(1) of the Act authorize SSA to establish procedures for collecting and verifying
relevant evidence. We collect such evidence using Form SSA-454-BK, Continuing
Disability Review Report. The information we collect assesses a claimant’s level of
education, and assigns the claimant to a specific education category.

Change #4: We are updating the Paperwork Reduction Act Statement on this form.
Justification #4: We are revising the PRA statement to reflect our current boilerplate
language. The current language, which dates back to the last reprint of the form, is now
outdated.

SSA will implement these Changes immediately upon OMB’s approval of this ICR,
0960-0813, within 60 days of the publication of the Final Rule, Removing Inability To
Communicate in English as an Education Category (RIN 0960-AH86), which published
February 25, 2020 at 85 FR 10586.
These revisions do not affect the public reporting burden.
