Addendum to the Supporting Statement for 0960-0809

Promoting Opportunity Demonstration (POD) Project

5 CFR 1320.5(b)

OMB No. 0960-0809

Revisions to the Collection Instruments

• Change #1: We updated the year on the POD Monthly Earnings and Impairment-Related Work Expenses (IRWE) Form (Attachment A) to 2021.

Justification #1: We updated the form to reflect that the form will collect information for 2021. We do not anticipate this revision will change the burden estimate for this form.

• Change #2: We updated the year on the POD End of Year Reporting (EOYR) Form (Attachment B) to 2021 and added instructions for respondents to report earnings for June 2021 – December 2021. This period corresponds to months after the POD (or “post-POD” months).

Justification #2: We updated the form to reflect that the form will collect information for 2021. We also provide instructions for respondents to submit their “post-POD” earnings. While respondents’ participation in POD ended on June 30, 2021, the Social Security Administration needs information from respondents for all of 2021 to ensure that their SSDI benefits were paid correctly for the months in 2021 when they were enrolled in POD. Even with the collection of “post-POD” earnings, respondents are still submitting documentation for the same number of months (12) as they had been under the previous data collection instrument, so the burden estimate does not change.

• Change #3: We removed the instruments for the evaluation of the POD.

Justification #3: These instruments are complete, and we are no longer collecting or processing the information from them.

Note: We are near the end of the collection process for this demonstration project. We expect to

finish collecting the data on the IRWE and EOYR forms, and finish processing the evaluation results for this demonstration project by the end of fiscal year 2022. Once we complete the evaluation for this project, we will discontinue this OMB Control Number.
