Abstract:
SSA requires disability claimants who are appealing an unfavorable disability determination to complete the SSA3441BK, the associated Electronic Disability Collect System (EDCS) interview either via telephone or in person, or the Internet application, i3441. This form allows claimants to disclose any changes to their disability or resources that might influence SSA's unfavorable determination. We may use the information to: (1) reconsider and review an initial disability determination; (2) review a continuing disability; and (3) evaluate a request for a hearing. This information assists the State Disability Determination Services and administrative law judges (ALJ) in preparing for the appeals and hearings, and issuing a determination or decision on an individual's entitlement (initial or continuing) to disability benefits. Respondents are individuals who appeal denial, reduction, or cessation of Social Security disability income Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, or who are requesting a hearing before an ALJ.

Short Statement:
When we last cleared this collection, we showed a burden of 584,756 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 842,365 hours. This change stems from (a) an increase in the number of responses and (b) our consideration of the psychological cost to the public. 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 986,339, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 842,365. 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 + learning costs. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.
