SSA conducts periodic reviews to determine whether individuals receiving disability benefits are still entitled to or eligible for those benefits. SSA collects the necessary information on Form SSA454 to complete the review for continued disability for current SSI recipients. SSA conducts reviews on a periodic basis depending on the respondents disability. We obtain information on sources of medical treatment, participation in vocational rehabilitation programs (if any), attempts to work (if any), and the opinions of individuals regarding whether their conditions have improved. The respondents are Title II and/or Title XVI disability recipients or their representatives.

When we last cleared this information collection in 2009, the burden was 259,000 hours. We are currently reporting a burden of 498,892 hours. This change stems from the increase in the number of CDRs the agency plans to process in FY11. In addition, we intend to use the SSA 454-ICR and abbreviated EDCS interview in place of the SSA-454-BK for the majority of CDR cases. Using the SSA-454-ICR and abbreviated EDCS interview instead of the SSA-454-BK or the EDCS stand-alone interview decreases the total burden by 5 minutes; thereby reducing the public reporting burden significantly.
