[Docket No. SSA-2017-0012]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed 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 new information collection.
    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]

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-2017-0012].
    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 May 
15, 2017. Individuals can obtain copies of the collection instruments 
by writing to the above email address.
    Authorization for the Social Security Administration To Obtain Wage 
and Employment Information From Payroll Data Providers--0960-NEW. 
Section 824 of the Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2015, Public Law 114-
74, authorizes the Social Security Administration (SSA) to enter into 
information exchanges with payroll data providers for the purposes of 
improving program administration and preventing improper payments in 
the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental 
Security Income (SSI) programs. SSA will use Form SSA-8240, 
``Authorization for the Social Security Administration to Obtain Wage 
and Employment Information from Payroll Data Providers,'' to secure the 
authorization needed from the relevant members of the public to obtain 
their wage and employment information from payroll data providers. 
Ultimately, SSA will use this wage and employment information to help 
determine program eligibility and payment amounts.
    The public will be able to complete form SSA-8240 using the 
following modalities: a paper form; the Internet; and an in-office or 
telephone interview, during which an SSA employee will document the 
wage and employment information authorization information on one of 
SSA's internal systems ((the Modernized Claims System (MCS); the 
Modernized Supplemental Security Income Claims System (MSSICS); eWork; 
or iMain)). The individual's authorization will remain effective until 
one of the following four events occurs:
     SSA makes a final adverse decision on the application for 
benefits, and the

[[Page 13914]]

applicant has filed no other claims or appeals under the Title for 
which SSA obtained the authorization;
     the individual's eligibility for payments ends, and the 
individual has not filed other claims or appeals under the Title for 
which SSA obtained the authorization;
     the individual revokes the authorization verbally or in 
writing; or
     the deeming relationship ends (for SSI purposes only).
    SSA will request authorization on an as-needed basis as part of the 
following processes: (a) SSDI and SSI initial claims; (b) SSI 
redeterminations; and (c) SSDI Work Continuing Disability Reviews. The 
respondents are individuals who file for or are currently receiving 
SSDI or SSI payments, and any person whose income and resources SSA 
counts when determining an individual's SSI eligibility or payment 
amount.
    Type of Request: Request for a new information collection.
