Abstract: The NOPA SSA sends to the recipient explains the waiver process, and how respondents can access Form SSA-263 to request a waiver. The SSA-263 collects the following information and acknowledgements from an SSI recipient: • the respondent’s name; • social security number; • acknowledgement that SSA may reduce, suspend, or terminate their SSI payment; • acknowledgement of the right to payment continuation; • acknowledgement of the right to request and receive payment continuation at any time before we make a determination on the appeal; • acknowledgement that we have explained the rights; and, • acknowledgement that the SSI recipient understands the rights concerning the waiver and receipt of payment continuation. SSI recipients may print the form on their own from SSA’s website or contact a field office to request the form. We use the SSA-263 to provide a modality through which an SSI recipient communicates to us that they do not wish to receive payment continuation. Waiver of payment continuation is voluntary. Therefore, SSI recipients complete the SSA-263 at their own discretion if they do not wish to receive payment continuation once they receive a NOPA from SSA to reduce, suspend, or terminate their SSI payment(s). SSI recipients complete the SSA-263 on their own or with the assistance from a field office technician. SSA uses the information we collect on the SSA-263 to process a waiver of payment continuation. The respondents for this collection are SSI recipients who receive a NOPA to reduce, suspend, or terminate their SSI payments.

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2019, the burden was 250 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 306 hours. This change stems from an increase in the number of responses from 3,000 to 3,676. 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. Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 3,431, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 306. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office and teleservice center 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.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $11,590
