As part of SSAâs disability determination process, we use Forms SSA-3375-BK through SSA-3379-BK to request information from a childâs parent or guardian for children applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The five different versions of the form contain questions about the childâs day-to-day functioning appropriate to a particular age group; thus, respondents use only one version of the form for each child. The adjudicative team (disability examiners and medical or psychological consultants) of State disability determination services offices collect the information on the appropriate version of this form (in conjunction with medical and other evidence) to form a complete picture of the childrenâs ability to function and their impairment-related limitations. The adjudicative team uses the completed profile to determine: (1) if each childâs impairment(s) results in marked and severe functional limitations; and (2) whether each child is disabled. The respondents are parents and guardians of child applicants for SSI.

When we last cleared this information collection in 2021, the burden was 193,000 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 174,921 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of responses from 579,000 to 524,762. 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.
As mentioned above, SSA is unable to breakdown the method by which the respondents complete the (whether it was completed electronically via the Intranet; through an in-office or telephone appointment; or if it was a paper version submitted to the FO or DDS upon completion, which was then scanned into the electronic file. Therefore, unlike the information collection in 2021, we are not able to precisely predict how many respondents physically traveled to the FO. At the prior information collection for this form (2021), we determined that approximately 10% of respondents visited the FO to submit a paper version of the form, relevant to the childâs age. Although we cannot provide exact data on this scope, we predict that 15% of respondents spent time traveling to/from the FO, which indicates 39,358 hours of travel time.
* Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 795,890, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 174,921. 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 + learning costs. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.
