The form SSA-8204-(TEST) will study
the feasibility of using a questionnaire mailed to SSI recipients
as opposed to the current labor intensive and costly in-person or
telephone interview process. The information collected will be used
to determine the recipient's continued SSI eligibility at the time
of scheduled redetermination. For study purposes, an in-person
follow-up interview will be conducted to verify the accuracy of
information. Respondents are randomly selected SSI recipients in
the Atlanta and Kansas City regions.
