To determine whether SSI recipients (1) have met and continue to meet all statutory and regulatory requirements for SSI eligibility, and (2) are receiving the correct SSI payment amount, SSA conducts redeterminations of disability. Periodic collection of this information using Form SSA-8203-BK is the only way SSA can make these redeterminations; and collect the information as mandatory under the law. We routinely collect the information in field offices via personal contact (face-to-face or telephone interview) using the automated Modernized SSI Claim System (MSSICS). The respondents are SSI recipients or their representative payees.
When we last cleared this IC in 2016, the burden was 523,418 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 510,055 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the completion time from 20 minutes to 19 minutes. Because we no longer collect a wet signature for the SSI Claims System, there is a decrease in completion time resulting in a change in burden.
