Abstract:
RISA, one of SSA's authentication methods, allows individuals to access their personal information through our Internet and Automated Telephone Services. SSA asks individuals and third parties who seek personal information from SSA records, or who register to participate in SSA's online business services, to provide certain identifying information. As an extra measure of protection, SSA asks requestors who use the Internet and telephone services to provide additional identifying information unique to those services so SSA can authenticate their identities before releasing personal information. The respondents are current beneficiaries who are requesting personal information from SSA, and individuals and third parties who are registering for SSA's online business services. We are doing a non-substantive change to update the Privacy Act Statement.

Short Statement:
When we last cleared this collection in 2015, the burden was 545,807 hours. Currently, we are reporting a burden of 774,042 hours. This change stems an increase in the number of responses from 12,077,286 to 12,699,559. There is no change to the burden time per response. Although the number of responses changed, SSA did not take any actions to cause this change. However, there are ongoing efforts to migrate existing automated applications from knowledge-based access to our Public Credentialing Registration and Authentication process (OMB# 0960 0789), which provides access to our my Social Security online services.
