Terms of Clearance:
Approved for one year only since a plan for making this form electronic was not received, as per previous terms of clearance. Upon resubmission of this form for OMB approval, SSA will either make this form electronically available or provide a plan for when SSA intends to make this form electronically available. Included in that plan should be an explanation of the criteria SSA uses to determine which forms receive priority consideration for electronic conversion. As the respondents to this form reside overseas, this form seems like an especially good candidate for electronic conversion. If it not made available electronically on resubmission, SSA will specifically include an explanation why this form was not considered a priority despite the fact that respondents reside overseas. As this information was requested per previous terms of clearance, future submissions that omit this information will be returned as improperly submitted.
