Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2023, the burden was 208 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 52 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of responses from 2,500 to 622. In addition this decrease stems from a reduction of bench decisions issued to respondents. 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 207, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 52. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the learning costs. In contrast, the chart in #12 of the Supporting Statement reflects actual burden.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $6,135
