Title II of the Social Security Act
provides retirement, survivors, and disability benefits to members
of the public who meet the required eligibility criteria and file
the appropriate application. This collection comprises the various
application methods for the retirement, survivors, and disability
benefits. These methods include the following modalities: paper
forms (Forms SSA–1, SSA–2, and SSA–16), Modernized Claims System
(MCS) screens for in-person interview applications, as well as the
Internet-based iClaim and iAppointment applications allowing the
public to apply electronically. SSA uses the information collected
using these modalities to determine: (1) the applicants'
eligibility for the above-mentioned Social Security benefits, and
(2) the amount of the benefits. The respondents are applicants for
retirement, survivors, and disability benefits under Title II of
the Act, their representatives, and in some instances, applicants
for SSI payments or their representatives who are requesting to
file for SSI through iClaim. We are submitting a Change Request to
append the Disability Determination Ready Claim (DDRC)
Certification Statement to this information collection in
anticipation of respondents using it for the DDRC pilot.

We are adding a new, voluntary,
Certification Statement for the use of respondents during the pilot
of the new Disability Determination Ready Claim (DDRC). At this
time, we expect only respondents for the SSA-16 will, potentially,
use the form if they choose to opt for the DDCR processing of their
claim. This new Certification Statement will increase the public
reporting burden for those who choose to request the new
process.
