To reduce Medicaid costs, Medicaid state agencies identify third party insurers liable for medical care or services for Medicaid beneficiaries. Applications for and redeterminations of SSI eligibility in jurisdictions with such agreements are applications and redeterminations of Medicaid eligibility. Under these agreements, SSA obtains third party liability information using Form SSA-8019, and provides that information to the Medicaid state agencies. The Medicaid state agencies use the information to bill third parties liable for medical care, support, or services for a beneficiary to guarantee that Medicaid remains the payer of last resort. The respondents are SSI claimants and recipients.
When we last cleared this IC in 2018, the burden was 4,152 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 3,546 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of responses from 49,621 to 35,457. In addition, we increased the completion time per response from 5 to 6 minutes, as we reassessed our burden estimate and found that current MI data supports an increase by one minute. These figures represent current Management Information data.
* Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 15,886, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 3,546. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects field office waiting time in addition to the overall burden per response. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.
