Abstract: To help determine a child’s entitlement to Social Security benefits, SSA uses criteria under section 216(h)(3) of the Social Security Act, deemed child provision. SSA may deem a child to an insured individual if: (1) the insured individual presents SSA with satisfactory evidence of parenthood, and was living with or contributing to the child’s support at certain specified times; or (2) the insured individual (a) acknowledged the child in writing; (b) was court decreed as the child’s parent; or (c) was court ordered to support the child. To obtain this information, SSA uses Form SSA-2519, Child Relationship Statement. Respondents are people with knowledge of the relationship between certain individuals filing for Social Security benefits and their alleged biological children.

Short Statement: There are no changes to the public reporting burden for this information collection. Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 55,000, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 1,245. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office waiting time + telephone call system wait times + a rough estimate of a 30-minute, one-way, drive burden. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.
