All 3 versions of this information collection, the paper SSA-3820, the online i3820, and the EDCS, which is input by the Claims Representative during an interview, collect the same information. The claimant has the option to complete the SSA-3820, complete the Internet application (i3820), or provide the information during a personal interview (EDCS. The claimant provides information on the limitations imposed by the alleged disability and the sources of medical and educational evidence. The information is used by the DDS evaluators to make a determination on the claim.
The public reporting burden has changed since the last request for clearance due to a more accurate estimate of the annual childhood application rate, which is lower than previously reported; an increase in the number of Internet-completed forms; a decrease in paper completion; and a more accurate estimate of number of respondents for SSA-3820's keyed into EDCS.
