Abstract: SSA uses the Representative Payee Evaluation Report, Form SSA-624-F5, as a documentation tool for interviews with, and evaluations of, representative payees. SSA requires our field offices (FO) to conduct a face-to-face interview with the representative payee using Form SSA-624-F5 when: (1) SSA finds the payee’s responses on SSA-required annual accounting reports [Forms SSA-623, SSA 6230, and SSA-6234 (OMB No. 0960 0068)] unacceptable, and we cannot resolve them; (2) the payee fails to complete SSA’s initial and second request for an annual accounting report; or (3) assessing the representative payee’s continued suitability. In addition to the representative payee, we also interview the beneficiary or SSI recipient, and custodian (if other than the payee) to confirm information the payee provides, and to ensure the payee is meeting the beneficiary’s or SSI recipient’s current needs (face to-face interview not required). The respondents are individuals or organizations serving as representative payees for individuals receiving Title II benefits or Title XVI payments who fail to comply with SSA’s statutory annual reporting requirement, SSA beneficiaries or recipients, and third-party custodians.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2023, the burden was 3,420 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 3,376 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of responses from 6,838 to 6,751. 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 12,582, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 3,376. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office and teleservice center waiting times + a rough estimate of a 30-minute, one-way, drive burden. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.
