Pursuant to OMB Memorandum dated May 22, 2007 (M-07-16) and the Identity Theft Task Force, steps should be taken to reduce the risks of data breach incidents of personally identifiable information. This Paperwork Reduction Act collection requests the Social Security Number (SSN) of individual beneficiaries completing the form. OMB is approving this collection instrument for 2 years to allow CMS to gather information regarding the collection and use of SSN associated with this ICR. When CMS resubmits the ICR, please include the following information: 1. Authority for collection of the SSN (statutory requirement or other legal requirement). 2. Explanation for the use of SSN on the form (identity verification, etc.) 3. Alternative method(s) (other than the use of a SSN) for verifying the identity of an individual for the purposes of carrying out the information collection requirement. 4. The cost and systems redesign that would be required to remove the use of the SSN and implement the alternate method(s) of verifying individual identities. This analysis should estimate costs to the program each year over 5 years.
