The agency revised the burden estimates and made significant modifications to the supporting statement to clarify how the information is conducted and to clarify why certain elements of the information are collected.
Prior to resubmission, the agency will ensure this form can be signed (including via typed signature) by all parties and submitted by the respondent electronically via Document Submission or a successor platform. If the agency determines this is not feasible, it will upload as part of the supplemental documentation a fact-specific explanation for why, from a policy, statutory, and operational perspective, this information collection cannot accommodate electronic signature. This letter should be signed by a Deputy Commissioner.
The agency will also evaluate, including a quantified analysis of the potential trade-offs, whether it can remove the school official's certification requirement for most recipients and instead use the respondent's self-allegation. If the agency determines it is unable to remove the requirement for a school official's certification, it will explain via a supplemental document a fact-specific analysis of the risks or trade-offs that informed the agency's decision to retain the requirement.

SSA uses the information collected on Forms SSA-1372-BK and SSA-1372-BK-FC to determine whether children of an insured worker are eligible for student benefits. The data allows SSA to determine student entitlement and whether entitlement will end. The respondents are student claimants for Social Security benefits, their respective schools and, in some cases, their representative payees.
US Code:
42 USC 402
Name of Law: Social Security Act
When we last cleared this IC in 2017, the burden was 18,526 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 467,850 hours. This change stems from an increase in the number of responses from 200,096 to 467,850. 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. These figures represent current Management Information data.
* Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 286,344, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 97,469. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the field office waiting time + a rough estimate of a 30-minute, one-way, drive burden. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.
