SSA uses the SSA-783 to collect information regarding a child's current sources of support when determining the child's entitlement to Social Security benefits. We request this information from adults acting on behalf of the child claimants who can provide SSA with any sources of support or substantial contributions for the child. These adults inform the claims representative as part of the initial benefits process. If the individual capable of providing the information does not accompany the child claimant, we mail the SSA-783 to the individual for completion, or if the person has access to a computer, we will refer them to SSA's website. The respondents are individuals providing information about a child's sources of support.
We are making non-substantive changes for clarity and to correct typographical errors.

When we last cleared this information collection in 2017, the burden was 8,500 hours; however, we are currently reporting a burden of 588 hours. In the prior clearance package, we estimated 30,000 responses. We are updating the burden based on current management information data showing the number of annual responses for a recent twelve-month period was 2,352. 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 2,705, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 588. 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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
