Abstract: Claimants have a statutory right under the Act and current regulations to apply for Social Security DIB or SSI payments. SSA must collect information from each step of the administrative review process to adjudicate claims fairly and efficiently. SSA collects this information to establish a claimant’s right to administrative review and the severity of the claimant’s alleged impairments. SSA uses the information to determine entitlement or continuing eligibility to DIB or SSI payments, and to enable appeals of these determinations. The respondents are applicants for Title II DIB or Title XVI SSI payments; their appointed representatives; legal advocates; medical sources; and schools. This is a Non-Substantive IT Mod Change Request to remove the password requirement from the submittable PDF under this ICR.
