SSA has established an automated
telephone process called Screen Pop that allows individuals to
enter their social security number (SSN) using their telephone
keypad or speech technology prior to speaking with a National 800
Number Network (N8NN) agent. The automated Screen Pop application
collects the SSN then routes the SSN to the "Start New Call"
Customer Help and Information screen (CHIP). Functionality for the
Screen Pop application ends once the SSN connects to the CHIP
screen. Once the call connects to the N8NN agent, the N8NN agent
uses the SSN to access the caller's SSA record, if needed. The
respondents are individuals who contact SSA's N8NN to speak with an
agent.

The burden increase for this
collection stems from an increase in callers asking for agent
service.
