SSA uses Form SSA-8202-BK to conduct low and middle-error profile (LEP/MEP) telephone, or face-to-face redetermination interviews with SSI recipients and representative payees, if applicable. SSA conducts LEP redeterminations interviews on a 6-year cycle, and MEP redeterminations annually. SSA requires the information we collect during the interview to determine whether: (1) SSI recipients met, and continue to meet, all statutory and regulatory requirements for SSI eligibility; and (2) the SSI recipients received, and are still receiving, the correct payment amounts. This information includes non-medical eligibility factors such as income, resources, and living arrangements. To complete Form SSA-8202-BK, the respondents may need to obtain information from employers or financial institutions. The respondents are SSI recipients and their representatives, if applicable.

When we last cleared this IC in 2019, the burden was 677,428 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 611,763 hours. This change stems a decrease in the number of responses from 2,031,787 to 1,831,905. 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 2,111,339, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 611,763 .  This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components:  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.
