Abstract: Hospitals and claimants use Form SSA-3830 to provide medical information to local field offices (FOs) and Disability Determinations Services (DDSs) on behalf of infants with low birth weight. FOs use the form as a protective filing statement, and the medical information to make presumptive disability findings, which allow expedited payment to eligible claimants. DDSs use the medical information from the SSA-3830 to determine disability and continuing disability. The respondents are hospitals and claimants who have information identifying low birth weight babies and their medical conditions.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: When we cleared this ICR in 2023, the burden was 7,031 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 955 hours. The decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the number of respondents from 28,125 to 3,860. We believe this was an inadvertent overstatement of burden hours in the previous clearance, as we did not have accurate Management Information (MI) data at that time. Thes revised figures represent current, more accurate MI data. 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 1,287 while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 965. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden also reflects the learning costs.
