Abstract:
As required by the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (P.L. 108-173), SSA conducts low-income subsidy eligibility redeterminations for Medicare beneficiaries who filed for the subsidy and were determined by SSA to be eligible. SSA conducts subsidy eligibility redeterminations under two circumstances: 1) When an individual completes Form SSA-1026-OCR-SM-SCE to report a subsidy-changing event (marriage, separation from a spouse, separated spouses resume living together, divorce, annulment, or death); and 2) When SSA uses Form SSA-1026-OCR-SM-REDE to conduct an annual review of individuals who became entitled during the prior 12 months, an annual review of a percentage of individuals who are eligible for more than 12 months, and a review of individuals who report a change in income, resources, or household size that may affect the subsidy amount.

Short Statement:
When we last cleared this IC in 2017, the burden was 47,176 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 53,701 hours. This change stems from an increase in the number of responses from 157,254 to 179,002. 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. These figures represent current Management Information data.
