Abstract: In cases where claimants request a hearing after denial of their disability claim for Social Security, SSA uses Form HA-4632 to request information from the claimant regarding the medications they use. This information helps the judge overseeing the case to fully investigate: (1) the claimant’s medical treatment and (2) the effects of the medications on the claimant’s medical impairments and functional capacity. The judge makes the completed form a part of the documentary evidence of record, placing it in the official record of the proceedings as an exhibit. The respondents are applicants (or their representatives) for OASDI benefits or SSI payments who request a hearing to contest an agency denial of their claim.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2021, the burden was 47,500 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 100,000 hours. This change stems an increase in the number of responses from 200,000 to 300,000 combined with a change in the amount of burden time for response (to include the estimated Learning Costs for this information collection). These figures represent current Management Information data. * Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 145,900, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 100,000. 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.
