Abstract:
SSA requires disability claimants who are appealing an unfavorable disability determination to complete the SSA3441BK, the associated Electronic Disability Collect System (EDCS) interview either via telephone or in person, or the Internet application, i3441. This form allows claimants to disclose any changes to their disability or resources that might influence SSA's unfavorable determination. We may use the information to: (1) reconsider and review an initial disability determination; (2) review a continuing disability; and (3) evaluate a request for a hearing. This information assists the State Disability Determination Services and administrative law judges (ALJ) in preparing for the appeals and hearings, and issuing a determination or decision on an individual's entitlement (initial or continuing) to disability benefits. Respondents are individuals who appeal denial, reduction, or cessation of Social Security disability income Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, or who are requesting a hearing before an ALJ.

Short Statement:
Overall, the burden for this collection has decreased since the last clearance cycle. These updated figures, which represent a decrease in the paper and EDCS versions of the form, reflect our more accurate, updated information (previously, we had erroneously over-estimated the burden). Although there was an overall decrease in burden, there was an increase in the number of respondents using the Internet version. We expect this trend will continue as more people use the easier information technology methods. In addition, the burden is changing due to the new electronic-use requirement (see Addendum for details).
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
