This information
collection is approved through 7-2000 under the following
condition: Upon resubmission, SSA will analyze the results from the
anticipated match between the HCFA MSIS data base and the SSI
database to determine whether SSA could rely on this match instead
of the paper reports sent by the nursing homes. If SSA finds that
the match is sufficient, SSA and HCFA shall eliminate the reporting
requirement.
