[Docket No: SSA-2015-0013]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Request and 
Comment Request

    The Social Security Administration (SSA) publishes a list of 
information collection packages requiring clearance by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with Public Law 104-13, the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, effective October 1, 1995. This notice 
includes revisions of OMB-approved information collections.
    SSA is soliciting comments on the accuracy of the agency's burden 
estimate; the need for the information; its practical utility; ways to 
enhance its quality, utility, and clarity; and ways to minimize burden 
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology. Mail, email, or fax your 
comments and recommendations on the information collection(s) to the 
OMB Desk Officer and SSA Reports Clearance Officer at the following 
addresses or fax numbers.
    (OMB): Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA, 
Fax: 202-395-6974, Email address: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.
    (SSA): Social Security Administration, OLCA, Attn: Reports

OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov.
    Or you may submit your comments online through www.regulations.gov, 
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA-2015-0013].
    I. The information collections below are pending at SSA. SSA will

    1. Application for Special Benefits for World War II Veterans--20 
CFR 408, Subparts B, C and D--0960-0615. Title VIII of the Social 
Security Act (Act) (Special Benefits for Certain World War II Veterans) 
allows qualified World War II veterans residing outside the United 
States to receive monthly payments. These regulations establish the 
requirements individuals need to qualify for and become entitled to 
Special Veterans Benefits (SVB). SSA uses Form SSA-2000-F6 to elicit 
the information we need to determine entitlement to SVB. This 
information collection request comprises the relevant regulations and 
Form SSA-2006-F6. The respondents are individuals applying for SVB 
under Title VIII of the Act.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    2. Representative Payee Report-Special Veterans Benefits--20 CFR 
408.665--0960-0621. Title VIII of the Act allows for payment of monthly 
Social Security benefits to qualified World War II veterans residing 
outside the United States. An SSA-appointed representative payee may 
receive and manage the monthly payment for the beneficiary's use and 
benefit. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-2001-F6 to determine 
whether the representative payee used the certified payments properly, 
and continues to demonstrate strong concern for the beneficiary's best 
interests. Representative payees who receive SVB on behalf of 
beneficiaries residing outside the United States must complete the SSA-
2001-F6 annually. We also require these representative payees to 
complete the form any time we have reason to believe they could be 
misusing the benefit payments. The respondents are individuals or 
organizations serving as representative payees who receive SVB on 
behalf of beneficiaries living outside the United States.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    II. SSA submitted the information collection below to OMB for 
clearance. Your comments regarding the information collection would be 
most useful if OMB and SSA receive them 30 days from the date of this 
publication. To be sure we consider your comments, we must receive them 
no later than May 4, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the OMB 
clearance package by writing to OR.Reports.Clearance@ssa.gov.
    Waiver of Right to Appear--Disability Hearing--20 CFR 404.913-
404.914, 404.916(b)(5), 416.1413-416.1414, 416.1416(b)(5)--0960-0534. 
Claimants for Social Security disability payments or their 
representatives can use Form SSA-773-U4 to officially waive their right 
to appear at a disability hearing. The disability hearing officer uses 
the signed form as a basis for not holding a hearing, and for preparing 
a written decision on the claimant's request for disability payments 
based solely on the evidence of record. The respondents are claimants 
for disability payments under Title II and Title XVI of the Act, or 
their representatives, who wish to waive their right to appear at a 
disability hearing.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
