SSA uses the Internet Direct Deposit
Application to obtain enrollment information from beneficiaries who
are interested in Direct Deposit/Electronic Funds Transfer (DD/EFT)
of their benefits. The information collected by this Internet
application is used to facilitate DD/EFT of their Social Security
benefits to a financial institution. The respondents are Social
Security beneficiaries who use the Internet to enroll in
DD/EFT.
The current burden of 13,333
hours represents an 11,833 hour increase over the previous burden
of 1,500 hours. This change is due to an increase in the number of
respondents: since the last OMB clearance of this collection, an
additional 71,000 beneficiaries have enrolled in the Direct Deposit
Program or have changed their account or FI information (there are
currently 80,000 respondents versus 9,000 respondents
previously).
