[Docket No: SSA-2015-0065]


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 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 fax numbers.

(OMB), Office of Management and Budget, Attn: Desk Officer for SSA, 
Fax: 202-395-6974, Email address: [email protected].
(SSA), Social Security Administration, OLCA, Attn: Reports Clearance 
Director, 3100 West High Rise, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD 
21235, Fax: 410-966-2830, Email address: [email protected].

Or you may submit your comments online through www.regulations.gov, 
referencing Docket ID Number [SSA-2015-0065].
    I. The information collections below are pending at SSA. SSA will 
submit them to OMB within 60 days from the date of this notice. To be 
sure we consider your comments, we must receive them no later than 
December 29, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection 
instruments by writing to the above email address.
    1. Child Relationship Statement--20 CFR 404.355 & 404.731--0960-
0116. To help determine a child's entitlement to Social Security 
benefits, SSA uses criteria under section 216(h)(3) of the Social 
Security Act, deemed child provision. SSA may deem a child to an 
insured individual if: (1) The insured individual presents SSA with 
satisfactory evidence of parenthood, and was living with or 
contributing to the child's support at certain specified times; or (2) 
the insured individual (a) acknowledged the child in writing; (b) was 
court decreed as the child's parent; or (c) was court ordered to 
support the child. To obtain this information, SSA uses Form SSA-2519, 
Child Relationship Statement. The respondents are people with knowledge 
of the relationship between certain individuals filing for Social 
Security benefits and their alleged biological children.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. Request for Reinstatement (Title XVI)--20 CFR 416.999-416.999d--
0960-0744. SSA uses Form SSA-372 to (1) inform previously entitled 
beneficiaries of the expedited reinstatement (EXR) requirements of 
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments under Title XVI of the 
Social Security Act (Act), and (2) document their requests for EXR. We 
require this application for reinstatement of benefits for respondents 
to obtain SSI disability payments for EXR. When an SSA claims 
representative learns of individuals whose medical conditions no longer 
permit them to perform substantial gainful activity as defined in the 
Act, the claims representative gives or mails the form to the 
previously entitled individuals if they request EXR over the phone. SSA 
employees collect this information whenever an individual files for EXR 
benefits. The respondents are applicants for EXR of SSI disability 
payments.
    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.

[[Page 66968]]

To be sure we consider your comments, we must receive them no later 
than November 30, 2015. Individuals can obtain copies of the OMB 
clearance package by writing to [email protected].
    Response to Notice of Revised Determination--20 CFR 404.913-
404.914, 404.992(b), 416.1413-416.1414, and 416.1492(d)--0960-0347. 
When SSA determines: (1) Claimants for initial disability benefits do 
not actually have a disability, or (2) current disability recipients' 
records show their disability ceased, SSA notifies the disability 
claimants or recipients of this decision. In response to this notice, 
the affected claimants and disability recipients have the following 
recourse: (1) They may request a disability hearing to contest SSA's 
decision and (2) they may submit additional information or evidence for 
SSA to consider. Disability claimants, recipients, and their 
representatives use Form SSA-765 to accomplish these two actions. If 
respondents request the first option, SSA's Disability Hearings Unit 
uses the form to schedule a hearing; ensure an interpreter is present, 
if required; and ensure the disability recipients or claimants and 
their representatives receive a notice about the place and time of the 
hearing. If respondents choose the second option, SSA uses the form and 
other evidence to reevaluate the claimant's case and determine if the 
new information or evidence will change SSA's decision. The respondents 
are disability claimants, current disability recipients, or their 
representatives.
    Type of Request: Extension of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
