Abstract:
SSA uses the information collected on Form SSA454BK to determine whether an individual who receives Social Security disability benefits continues to be disabled. The SSA454BK updates the record of the disabled individual, providing information on recent medical treatment, vocational and education experience, work activity, and evaluations of potential for work for adults. It also collects information on ability of Title XVI children to function without marked and severe limitation. On the basis of the responses provided, SSA obtains medical and other evidence in order to make a determination whether disability, as defined by the Social Security Act, continues or has ended, and, if so, when the disability ended. A continuing disability review (CDR) is typically done when a disabled individuals medical reexamination diary matures, or when medical improvement is reported. The number of CDRs done each fiscal year depends on the number of maturing diaries, reports of medical improvement and SSA budget constraints. The respondents are recipients of benefits based on disability under Title II and/or Title XVI of the Social Security Act.

Short Statement:
The projected annual responses and burden hours have decreased considerably due to budgetary constraints. SSA processed enough CDRs, involving Title II beneficiaries, to stay current with the Congressional mandate for performing CDRs. However, due to the FY 2009 President's budget and the FY 2010 Budget Request, both of which include special funding for processing CDRs, SSA anticipates an increase in the number of responses over the next three years. If funded, we will submit a change sheet for the increases in the number of Title II CDR Disability Reviews, provided they occur prior to the next clearance of this form. In addition, we discovered that the figures used in the previous package were inaccurate as they reflect the total number of CDRs, which includes workloads that do not use the SSA-454 (e.g. Age 18 Re-determinations). In order to correct for this, we are removing the Re-determination workload from the number of respondents we are currently reporting. Finally, we are making significant revisions to the existing SSA-454-BK, and adding a pilot program for two new modalities, Electronic Disability Collection System (EDCS) screens, and a new paper form, SSA-454-ICR. The estimated response time is 60 minutes regardless of the modality of completion, i.e., to complete the SSA-454-BK or to complete the stand alone interview in EDCS or to do the SSA-454-ICR plus the abbreviated EDCS interview. SSA is also requesting permission to pilot usage of the SSA-454-ICR in FY10 with about 300 people (see Addendum). As shown in #12 above, the pilot usage will show 600 total responses: 300 responses for the SSA-454-ICR and 300 for the new EDCS screens. The SSA-454-ICR is not an independent product; therefore, we must supplement it with the abbreviated EDCS interview.
