Abstract:
Due to the large volume of wage and Self Employment reports that fail the identity matching processes of SSA and are placed into a special file known as the Earnings Suspense File, we intend to conduct a brief review to enhance our DECOR notices. The Office of Quality Performance, Division of Automated Solutions (OQP DAS) developed several processes to provide resolution to some of the reports that have remained in the Earnings Suspense File. We continue to review the files and analyze information in an effort to provide additional automation to improve the quality and quantity of earnings reports processing. We have designed a notice and two sets of questions to test potential changes that will allow expanded automation of the DECOR process.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
There is not a increase in burden, when we separated the IC's the system is showing it as a increase. There is actually an decrease in the burden due to the decrease of the beneficiary population. The change in the public reporting burden is due to the following; The Social Security Number Verification Service (SSNVS) allows employers to verify employee names and SSNs via a secure Internet-based system. SSNVS may have somewhat of an impact on the decrease since it offers an immediate and efficient verification process. However, the burden reduction by SSNVS was probably minor since there are only 31,000+ employers registered. A contributing factor could be that since the DECOR process is not mandatory, our customers are not obligated to return their responses.
