Abstract: SSA uses Form SSA-3820-BK to collect information about a child’s condition from treating sources or other medical sources of evidence. The State Disability Determination Services (DDS) evaluators use the information from Form SSA-3820-BK to develop medical and school evidence, and to assess the alleged disability. The information, together with medical evidence, forms the evidentiary basis upon which SSA makes its initial disability evaluation. The respondents are claimants seeking SSI childhood disability payments. Applicants can complete and print Form SSA-3820-BK and mail to SSA, or take the notification page (generated after completing the i3820) to their local Social Security field office (FO). The notification page serves as a back-up alert to the FOs that an applicant transmitted an internet disability report. When claimants do not complete an i3820, FO employees use the Electronic Disability Collect System (EDCS) internal collection process to key information provided by claimants onto EDCS screens to establish a database for the DDS adjudicators. We are revising language on the SSA-3820-BK and the i3820 Internet application screens to change Mental Health/Retardation Center to Mental health/Developmental Disabilities Center due to a statuary change in terminology, to ensure consistency with the agreed upon revisions from the previous approval, and also comply with OMB's Terms of Clearance on this ICR.

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2016, the burden was 659,431 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 621,502 hours. This change stems a decrease in the number of responses from 659,431 to 621,502. 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.
