Abstract: In cases where claimants request a hearing after denial of their disability claim for Social Security, SSA uses Form HA-4632 to request information from the claimant regarding the medications they use. This information helps the judge overseeing the case to fully investigate: (1) the claimant’s medical treatment and (2) the effects of the medications on the claimant’s medical impairments and functional capacity. The judge makes the completed form a part of the documentary evidence of record, placing it in the official record of the proceedings as an exhibit. The respondents are applicants (or their representatives) for OASDI benefits or SSI payments who request a hearing to contest an agency denial of their claim.

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2018, the burden was 50,000 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 47,500 hours. This change stems a decrease in the number of responses from 200,000 to 190,000. 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.
