[Docket No: SSA-2015-0020]


Agency Information Collection Activities: 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 a revision and an extension 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

    Or you may submit your comments online through www.regulations.gov, 
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA-2015-0020].
    SSA submitted the information collections below to OMB for 
clearance. Your comments regarding the information collections 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 22, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the OMB 
clearance package by writing to [email protected].
    1. Claim for Amounts Due in the Case of a Deceased Beneficiary--20 
CFR 404.503(b)--0960-0101. When a Social Security payment was due to a 
deceased beneficiary at the time of death and there is insufficient 
information in the file to identify the persons(s) entitled to the 
payment or the person's address, SSA asks the surviving spouse, next of 
kin, or legal representative of the estate to complete Form SSA-1724, 
Claim for Amounts Due in the Case of a Deceased Social Security 
Recipient. SSA collects the information when a surviving widow(er) is 
not already entitled to a monthly benefit on the same earnings record, 
or is not filing for a lump-sum death payment as a former spouse. SSA 
uses the information from Form SSA-1724 to ensure proper payment of an 
underpayment due a deceased beneficiary. The respondents are applicants 
for underpayments owed to deceased beneficiaries.
    This is a correction notice. SSA published this information 
collection as a revision on February 10, 2015 at 80 FR 2521. Since we 
are no longer revising the information collection, this is now an 
extension of an OMB-approved information collection.
    Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    2. Certificate of Election for Reduced Spouse's Benefits--20 CFR 
404.421--0960-0398. SSA cannot pay reduced Social Security benefits to 
an already entitled spouse unless the spouse elects to receive reduced 
benefits and is (1) at least age 62, but under full retirement age; and 
(2) no longer is caring for a child. In this situation, spouses who 
decide to elect reduced benefits must file Form SSA-25, Certificate of 
Election for Reduced Spouse's Benefits. SSA uses the information to pay 
qualified spouses who elect to receive reduced benefits. Respondents 
are entitled spouses seeking reduced Social Security benefits.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB approved information 
collection.
