Abstract:
Electronic Records Express (ERE) is a new Internet-based platform which facilitates the electronic submission of medical and school records needed for the disability process. These records are currently mailed as hard paper copies to SSA and state Disability Determination Services (DDSs) under the aegis of OMB No. 0960-0555, the Clearance of Information Collections Conducted by State Disability Determination Services on Behalf of SSA. While SSA and the DDSs will continue to accept paper copies, ERE offers respondents the opportunity to submit these records electronically. The revised burden for the actual document submission will continue to be covered under 0960-0555; this new collection covers the ERE registration and user training process. The respondents are medical providers and school professionals who submit information to SSA on behalf of disability applicants or beneficiaries.

Short Statement:
This ICR is for the registration process for an electronic mode of submitting documentation to OMB. The registration process increases the public reporting burden. NOTE: Please note that although the user guide attached in the IC is 44 pages long, we anticipate that users of ERE will only need to consult one or two pages, if any (the rest is mostly for the DDSs), which is why our burden is only 5 minutes.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$768,870
