Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The total decrease in the total burden hours for all three forms is 963 hours, with the current total burden hours being 679. The prior total burden hours for all three forms were 1,642. Form CM-623 decreased by 900 hours, with a current burden of 450 hours. The CM-623S increased by 37 hours, with a current burden of 54 hours. The CM-787 decreased by 100 hours, with a current burden of 175 hours. The total decrease in the total burden hours for all three forms is 963 hours. The CM-623 and CM-623S are no longer used as the annual accounting of a beneficiary’s benefits, but rather are just used for the final accounting of a beneficiary’s benefits, due to death or due to a change in representative payee appointment. The number of burden hours for form CM-787 has decreased due to fewer determinations of incapability or incompetence medical opinions needed.
