Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The reduction in burden is due to the nature of the SVB program. As stated in the 2005 Supporting Statement (and #12 above), we only anticipate needing 900 burden hours for the first year of usage (as this form is a new addition to the program), after that we stated that we expect only 78 burden hours annually. Since the first year of usage has been delayed until this year due to the redetermination procedure for SVB, we anticipate that we will begin the annual usage as stated above in #12 in 2009. The universe of potential applicants for SVB is limited and declining due to the fact that most applicants who meet the eligibility requirements have already filed for benefits under this provision and there are fewer applicants who meet the requirement of having attained age 65 or older in 12/99. We expect the decreasing trend in the annual reporting burden will continue.
