Short Statement: We are adding an in-person proofing option for respondents who need SSA technician help to register to use Login.gov. We estimate the total annual number of in-person proofing Login.gov registrations will be approximately 55,255. We will revise this number, as needed, after we implement the in-person proofing option and obtain more accurate MI data. In addition, as respondents only need to register once for Login.gov, we anticipate this number to decrease over time.
