All 3 versions of this information
collection, the paper SSA-3820, the online i3820, and the EDCS,
which is input by the Claims Representative during an interview,
collect the same information. The claimant has the option to
complete the SSA-3820, complete the Internet application (i3820),
or provide the information during a personal interview (EDCS. The
claimant provides information on the limitations imposed by the
alleged disability and the sources of medical and educational
evidence. The information is used by the DDS evaluators to make a
determination on the claim.
The public reporting burden has
changed since the last request for clearance due to a more accurate
estimate of the annual childhood application rate, which is lower
than previously reported; an increase in the number of
Internet-completed forms; a decrease in paper completion; and a
more accurate estimate of number of respondents for SSA-3820's
keyed into EDCS.
