Abstract: Through its Ticket to Work Program Manager, SSA uses the information collected to operate and manage the Ticket to Work Program. SSA uses the Ticket to Work Program to assign Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries to a service provider, and follows their progress through the various stages of ticket program participation such as progress reviews or changes in ticket status. Most of the collections in this request require service providers to provide information to SSA for such tasks as selecting a payment system or requesting payments for helping the beneficiary achieve certain work goals. Most of the categories of information collected in this request are required for SSA to be in compliance with the Ticket to Work legislation and provide proper oversight of the program. The respondents are SSDI beneficiaries and blind or disabled SSI beneficiaries and their employment networks or State vocational rehabilitation agencies under the Ticket to Work Program.

ICR Summary of Burden

	Total Approved	Previously Approved	Change Due to New Statute	Change Due to Agency Discretion	Change Due to Adjustment in Estimate	Change Due to Potential Violation of the PRA
Annual Number of Responses	333,792	333,793	0	-1	0	0
Annual Time Burden (Hours)	65,621	73,673	0	-6,629	-1,423	0
Annual Cost Burden (Dollars)	0	0	0	0	0	0

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Using Information Technology

Short Statement: We decreased the burden estimate for the Request for Certification of Work and Educational Progress through the Portal to correct a typographical error. We also decreased the burden estimate for the Periodic Outcomes Reporting as we no longer need to request as much information from the ENs (see Addendum for details). In addition, we added one new function to the new Secure Provider Portal (EN Contract Changes), and we discontinued use of the SSA-L1377 for Requesting Certification of Work and Educational Progress as we expect all respondents will use the new Portal (see Addendum for more details). Finally, we will request the ENs to use the Portal 80% of the time, therefore, we revised the burden accordingly (see Addendum for details).
