Title II of the Social Security Act provides retirement, survivors, and disability benefits to members of the public who meet the required eligibility criteria and file the appropriate application. This collection comprises the various application methods for the retirement, survivors, and disability benefits. These methods include the following modalities: paper forms (Forms SSA–1, SSA–2, and SSA–16), Modernized Claims System (MCS) screens for in-person interview applications, as well as the Internet-based iClaim and iAppointment applications allowing the public to apply electronically. SSA uses the information collected using these modalities to determine: (1) the applicants' eligibility for the above-mentioned Social Security benefits, and (2) the amount of the benefits. The respondents are applicants for retirement, survivors, and disability benefits under title II of the Social Security Act. This is a non-substantive change request: SSA is requesting to make Forms SSA-1 and SSA-2 fillable, printable forms. This action does not affect the public burden.
