Abstract: SSI recipients who wish to discontinue their SSI payments while awaiting a determination on their appeal complete Form SSA-263, Waiver of Supplemental Security Income Payment Continuation, to inform SSA of this decision. SSA collects the information to determine whether the SSI recipient meets the provisions of the Social Security Act regarding waiver of payment continuation and as proof respondents no longer want their payments to continue. Respondents are recipients of SSI payments who wish to discontinue receipt of payment while awaiting a determination on their appeal.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: When we last cleared this IC in 2023, the burden was 919 hours. However, we are currently reporting a burden of 416 hours. This change stems from a decrease in the number of responses from 3,676 to 1,662. The reduction is primarily due to improved data accuracy resulting from including this form in Upload Documents, which enables us to better track and report responses. Additionally, the agency now requires employees to use an internal tool, the Dallas Appeals Application, for non-medical post-eligibility SSI reconsideration requests. This tool also captures SSI payment continuation unless the recipient requests a waiver. Since we last cleared this IC in 2023, we have also revised the NOPA to provide additional clarifications regarding SSI payment continuation. These combined efforts have resulted in more accurate reporting and a decrease in the number of responses. Although the number of responses changed, SSA did not take any actions specifically intended to reduce responses. These figures represent current Management Information data. *Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 1,607, while the burden cited in #12 of the Supporting Statement is 416. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office waiting time + telephone call pick up times + 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: $8,838
