The pilot of
this system is approved for use through 4/2003 under the conditions
that in the next submission SSA: 1)presents as background a
description of the results of its cognitive test under OMB
#0960-0526; 2) evaluates the pilot as well as the new systems'
impact on the functionality of SSA's disability operation from both
SSA's and the respondents' perspective throughout the entire
disability determination process. This internet application should
make the determination process more cost-effective for SSA and less
burdensome on respondents; 3)no later than 8/2002 adjusts other
relevant paperwork burden estimates to reflect substitution of this
technology for existing application modes. Prior to full national
implementa- tion, SSA must submit directly to OMB the new package
including the above analyses. OMB expects to expeditiously review
this submission upon receipt (i.e. within 30 days.)
