Abstract:
SSA requires payees to submit a written report accounting for the use of money paid to Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, and to establish and maintain a dedicated account for these payments. SSA uses Form SSA-6233-BK to: (1) Ensure the payee uses the payments for the recipient’s current maintenance and personal needs; and (2) confirm the expenditures of funds from the dedicated account remain in compliance with the law. Although we mail a paper Form SSA-6233-BK to the payee, the report can also be completed through telephone contact and then be mailed to the payee for signature, or during a face-to-face interview. The respondents are payees for SSI and Social Security recipients. We are making non-substantive changes to revise language on Form SSA-6233-BK, we are also reducing the Average Burden Per Response (minutes) from 20 minutes to 15 minutes, and we are revising the Privacy Act Statement.

Short Statement:
When we last cleared this IC in 2018, the burden was 12,076 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 10,500 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of respondents from 36,228 to 31,500. 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.
