The electronic proof of income verification (POI) Internet service, BEVE, provides beneficiaries the convenience of requesting a proof of income statement through the Internet. Beneficiaries often require a POI to obtain housing, Food Stamps, or other public services. The information collected is used exclusively to provide the POI to the beneficiary, after verifying the identity of the requestor. The respondents are Social Security title II, title XVI, and Medicare beneficiaries.

The increase in burden under the ICI BEVE is due to the public having greater access to, and are more comfortable with using, the Internet. We are also revising the ICR to include the release of the enhanced BEVE now called the Request a Benefit Verification Letter, or iBEVE, Internet application. Respondents will now be able to obtain a benefit verification letter via the Internet. We anticipate a decrease in respondents' overall response time under iBEVE since respondent authentication will take place (and be counted) under a different Internet application (new Public Credentialing and Authentication Process and MySocialSecurity).
