Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The decrease in burden hours from 2,120,483 to 1,763,546 hours stems from a decrease in initial claims of about 300,000 respondents over the last three years. We have not changed the time estimate for this collection, nor have we significantly changed the form; so the average burden per response remains the same. Our current management information data shows a significant decrease in the number of initial claims, as well as a fluctuation and decrease in current continuing disability redeterminations and reconsideration claims which amounts to this reduction in the burden hours. The reduction in burden also explains the reduction in the cost to the Federal government, as we are printing and processing fewer forms now than we did three years ago.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$3,403,000
