Abstract: SSA asks individuals applying for disability about work they performed in the past. Applicants use Form SSA-3369, Work History Report, to provide SSA with detailed information about applicant’s jobs held prior to becoming unable to work. State Disability Determination Services evaluate the information together with medical evidence, to determine eligibility for disability payments. The respondents are disability applicants and third parties assisting applicants. We are submitting a non-substantive Change Request to include the Final Rule revisions currently approved under 0960-0834 (Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How We Consider Past Work) under this ICR. Upon OMB's approval of this Change Request (and the Change Requests for both 0960-0300 and 0960-0579), we will discontinue the ICR for 0960-0834 to avoid double-counting the burden for these information collections.

Short Statement: The burden changes reflected here are the same burdens we published in the currently approved ICR for 0960-0834 (Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How We Consider Past Work). We are moving them from 0960-0834 to this ICR, after which we will discontinue 0960-0834 to avoid double-counting the burden. * Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 1,921,957, while the burden cited in the attached Justification for the Non-Substantive Changes is 1,061,299. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office and telephone waiting time + a rough estimate of a 30-minute, one-way, drive burden + learning costs. In contrast, the chart in the Justification reflects actual burden.
