Abstract: At the request of the claimants or their representatives, SSA schedules evidentiary hearings at the reconsideration level for claimants of Title II benefits or Title XVI payments when we deny their claims for disability. When claimants or their representatives find they are unable to attend the scheduled hearing, they complete Form SSA–769 to request a change in time or place of the hearing. SSA uses the information from the form as a basis for granting or denying requests for changes and for rescheduling disability hearings. Respondents are claimants or their representatives who wish to request a change in the time or place of their hearing.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: When we cleared the this ICR in 2023, the burden was 5,525 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 3,280 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of responses from 41,440 to 24,599. 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, rather the decrease in the number of respondents reflects the addition of better scheduling methods which SSA implemented over the past several years, causing fewer respondents to request rescheduling. The updated figures represent our current Management Information data. *Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 5,330 while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 3,280. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden also reflects learning costs. In contrast, the chart in #12 above reflects actual burden.
