SSA uses the Internet Direct Deposit Application to obtain enrollment information from beneficiaries who are interested in Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds Transfer (DD/EFT) of their benefits. The information collected by this Internet application is used to facilitate DD/EFT of their Social Security benefits to a financial institution. The respondents are Social Security beneficiaries who use the Internet to enroll in DD/EFT.
The current burden of 13,333 hours represents an 11,833 hour increase over the previous burden of 1,500 hours. This change is due to an increase in the number of respondents: since the last OMB clearance of this collection, an additional 71,000 beneficiaries have enrolled in the Direct Deposit Program or have changed their account or FI information (there are currently 80,000 respondents versus 9,000 respondents previously).
