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 increased since the last clearance cycle. These updated figures, represent a decrease in the paper and EDCS versions of the form, but an increase in completion of the i3441. Since the regulatory requirements we published on March 16, 2012 (77 FR 13968), SSA requires representatives, who request and are eligible for direct fee payment, to electronically file the reconsideration or hearing appeal along with the i3441 on medically denied Title II and Title XVI disability or blindness claims. Implementation of this regulation increased claimant compliance with the agency requirement to complete this information collection when appealing a disability determination. This is the first service required under the regulations we published on September 12, 2011 (76 FR 56107), Requiring Use of Electronic Services by Certain Claimant Representatives. We expect this trend will continue as more people use the easier information technology methods and because of the mandate requiring representative requesting direct fee payment to conduct business with us electronically at the times and in the manner we prescribe.
