Abstract:
Forms SSA-2854 and SSA-2855 collects information where the SSI beneficiary alleges that he or she borrowed funds informally from non-commercial lender, e.g. a relative or friend. The borrower/beneficiary and the lender of the funds complete these statements. Forms SSA-2854 and SSA-2855 are required to determine whether the proceeds from the transaction are income to the borrower. If the transaction constitutes a bona fide loan, then the proceeds are not income to the borrower. Form SSA-2855 (Statement of Funds You Received) requests information from the SSI applicant/beneficiary by personal interview. Form SSA-2854 (Statement of Funds You Provided to Another) requests information by mail from the other party to the transaction. The respondents are SSI beneficiaries who informally borrow money and those persons who lend the funds (who may or may not be SSI beneficiaries).

Short Statement:
When we last cleared this IC in 2018, the burden was 6,666 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 10,000 hours. This change stems from an increase in the completion time from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. This change is supported by our current management information data. Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 46,000, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 10,000. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office waiting time + a rough estimate of a 30-minute, one-way, drive burden. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.
