Abstract:
The Social Security Administration will use the new Internet Pay.gov Application for Overpayments to offer a new repayment option to beneficiaries and recipients to recover overpayments they incurred. Pay.gov is an online collection portal developed and maintained by the Department of the Treasury (Treasury). The Internet remittance portal will offer beneficiaries and recipients another option to repay overpayments via credit card, debit card, and automated clearing house (ACH). The SSA application located on SocialSecurity.gov will request the overpaid individual’s Social Security Number (SSN) and dollar amount they wish to repay on his or her overpayment prior to sending them to Treasury’s Pay.gov application which will request and process the payment information on SSA’s behalf. The information SSA will collect is used to reconcile the Pay.gov transactions, and update the overpaid individual’s balance on his or her record. The respondents are individuals who have Title II or XVI overpayments, and who wish to voluntarily repay the overpayment online through SocialSecurity.gov. This is a Change Request to enhance the current application to clarify the language, and update the screens and burden information.

Short Statement:
We are updating the current burden information for this application based on our current management information data. The burden estimate we submitted in January 2019 was based on the management information data we have regarding the number of respondents who need to submit payments to SSA for overpayments, as well as an educated estimate of how many of those respondents would potentially use the new Pay.gov application to submit those payments. Going forward, we will monitor actual usage of the screens when we create our burden estimates for all future PRA-related approval requests. In addition, we are updating our burden chart to reflect the respondents who may request to receive an email receipt. At this time, we anticipate that about 30% of all current users will request an email receipt. Based on our usability testing, we expect that requesting an email receipt may take up to one minute more for the respondent, thus increasing the average burden per response from 10 minutes to 11 minutes for those who request an email receipt.
