Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2017, the burden was 168,805 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 147,026 hours. This decrease stems from a change in the number of responses. Although the number of responses changed, SSA did not take any actions to cause this change. In 2017, the form and the electronic applications were new collections and our estimates were based on anticipated use. In this current request, we derive our estimate from current management information tracking transactional details. Although we are expanding our use of the authorization collected in this form to non-automated contacts with payroll data providers, we do not believe the additional use will affect the reported burden and costs estimates. Those individuals affected by the change are already using the form to provide authorization, and we do not anticipate adding new categories of applicants or beneficiaries.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $4,115,849
