Abstract: SSA uses Form SSA-1713 to collect information to determine if a Canadian bank is able to return erroneous payments, and to determine how and when it can return payments made after the death of a recipient who elects to have payments sent to Canada. Form SSA-1712 (or SSA-1712 CN) is the cover sheet SSA prepares to request return of a payment erroneously made after the death of the recipient. SSA sends Form SSA-1712 with Form SSA-1713. If the bank is the entity that reported the death via a returned payment, SSA does not request Forms SSA-1712 and SSA-1713. The respondents are Canadian financial institutions who received Social Security payments at recipients' request.

Short Statement: There are no changes to the public reporting burden. The previous submission of this ICR incorrectly left out the average burden per response for the SSA-1713 (clearly stated in the Supporting Statement as 5 minutes per response), which is why ROCIS did not account for the annual estimated time burden of one hour for that form in 2015. As we did not catch this inadvertent mistake in 2015, we are correcting for it here.
