Abstract:
SSA conducts personal conferences when we cannot approve a waiver of recovery of a Title II or Title XVI overpayment. The Social Security Act (Act) and our regulatory citations require SSA to give overpaid Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients the right to request a waiver of recovery and automatically schedule a personal conference if we cannot approve their request for waiver of overpayment. We conduct these conferences face-to-face, via telephone, or through video teleconferences. Social Security beneficiaries and SSI recipients or their representatives may provide documents to demonstrate they are without fault in causing the overpayment and do not have the ability to repay the debt. They may submit these documents by completing Form SSA 632, Request for Waiver of Overpayment Recovery (OMB No. 0960-0037); Form SSA 795, Statement of Claimant or Other Person (OMB No. 0960-0045); or through a personal statement submitted by mail, telephone, personal contact, or other suitable method, such as fax or email. This information collection satisfies the requirements for request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment, and allows individuals to pursue further levels of administrative appeal via personal conference. Respondents are Social Security beneficiaries and SSI recipients or their representatives seeking reconsideration of an SSA waiver decision.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The reduction in the burden estimate is due to a more accurate estimate from previous years of the number of personal conferences SSA completed annually. The previous data reported was based on rough estimates of the number of overall waivers denied using the assumption that all denied waivers required a personal conference. The current data more accurately reflects the number of waivers processed that required a personal conference before SSA could properly grant or deny the waiver, since we do not require a personal conference in all instances. We also removed ICs in ROCIS to group like regulation sections together (Title II and Title XVI). This shows a change in ROCIS; however, it does not show the cause for the decrease (as explained above).
