Abstract: 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.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2019, the burden was 510,055 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 622,387 hours. This change is due to an increase of 359,521 respondents from 2019 to 2022. * Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 1,603,937, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 622,388. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office waiting time + a rough estimate of a 30-minute, one-way, drive burden. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.
