The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 mandated the creation of the Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage program and provided for certain subsidies for eligible Medicare beneficiaries to help pay for the costs of prescription drugs. SSA uses Form SSA-1020 (and the i1020, its electronic counterpart), the Application for Extra Help with Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs, to collect information to make Part D subsidy eligibility determinations. The respondents are Medicare beneficiaries or applicants applying for Part D low income subsidy.

When we last cleared this IC in 2018, the burden was 464,389 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 419,801 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of responses from Medicare beneficiaries applying for Extra Help from 986,551 to 900,580. 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.
