Abstract: SSA uses this information collection to determine SSI eligibility or the benefit amount for SSI recipients who enter or leave institutions. SSA personnel collect this information directly from SSI recipients, or from someone reporting on their behalf. An SSI recipient who enters an institution may be unable to report; therefore, a family member sometimes makes this report on behalf of the recipient. When contacting SSA, the recipient or family member of the recipient provides the name of the institution; the date of admission; and the expected date of discharge. The respondents are SSI recipients who enter or leave an institution.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2023, the burden was 26,316 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 21,578 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of responses from 225,566 to 184,956 due to an overall decrease in the number of respondents going into an institution or any other change in living arrangement. 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.
