Claimants or beneficiaries, both United States (U.S.) citizens and aliens entitled to benefits, living outside the U.S. complete Form SSA-21 as a supplement to an application for benefits. SSA collects the information to determine eligibility for U.S. Social Security benefits for those months an alien beneficiary or claimant is outside the U.S., and to determine if tax withholding applies. In addition, SSA uses the information to: (1) allow beneficiaries or claimants to request a special payment exception in an SSA Restricted country; (2) terminate Supplemental Medical Insurance coverage for recipients who request it, because they are, or will be, out of the U.S.; and (3) allow claimants to collect a lump sum death benefit if the number holder died outside the U.S. and we do not have information to determine the whether the lump sum death is payable under the Social Security Act. The respondents are Social Security claimants, or individuals entitled to Social Security benefits, who are, will be, or have been residing outside the U.S. for three months or longer.

Miscellaneous Actions
The decrease in burden hours stems from a change in our policy to no longer require U.S. citizens to complete this form in claims or post-entitlement situations. In addition, based on current management data, we have fewer respondents needing to use Form SSA-21.
