Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden increase was due to the addition of the Medicare-only iClaim application, whose response time is slightly longer than paper Medicare-only applications (although the iClaim version is more convenient). There is no actual burden reduction, but ROCIS registers one because we reduced the total SSA-1 paper and MCS ICs number of respondents, as we now have separate ICs for the Medicare-only subsets of those forms.
