In this ICR, we are seeking clearance
for round 4 of the National Beneficiary Survey and two associated
experiments (all three activities will use the same data). We are
conducting these surveys as part of the multi-phase evaluation of
the Ticket to Work program, established as per the mandates of the
1999 Ticket to Work Incentives Improvement Act, Public Law 106-170.
The respondents are Social Security beneficiaries and TTW
enrollees. As with the previous three phases of this project, a
contractor will conduct this study for SSA.
ROCIS registers all 4,551
burden hours of this ICR as a burden increase because we previously
discontinued this collection, so ROCIS thinks the burden is zero.
There is an actual small burden increase compared to the last
iteration of this survey we conducted, because we added a few
questions to the survey. However, the actual change is minimal.
Please note that ROCIS's burden is 1 hour greater than the burden
reported in the Supporting Statement due to ROCIS's rounding
methodology.
