SSA uses the information on Form
SSA-4588 and the one-time payment electronic application to update
an individual's Social Security record to reflect payments made on
their overpayment, and to effect payment through the appropriate
credit card company. SSA uses the SSA-4588 to allow individuals to
authorize automatic monthly payments. SSA sends out the SSA-4588
with initial overpayment notices, which informs individuals that
SSA has detected an overpayment. Individuals may choose to make a
one-time payment or recurring monthly payments by completing and
submitting the SSA-4588. When individuals choose to call SSA to
make a payment in lieu of completing the Form SSA-4588, an SSA
debtor contact representative completes an electronic application
to process the payment. Respondents are Title II beneficiaries and
Title XVI recipients who have outstanding overpayments.

The increase in burden hours
