SSA collects information to establish
(1) the claimant's right to administrative review, (2) the severity
of the claimant's alleged impairments and (3) the level of
performance by the State Disability Determination Services (DDSs).
SSA then uses the information collected by these regulations to
determine entitlement and/or eligibility to disability insurance
benefits (DIB) and/or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and to
enable appeals of these determinations. The respondents are
applicants for Title II DIB or SSI.
US Code:

USC 902 Name of Law: Social Security Act
The changes in the burden hours
stem from the addition of new information collections that will
increase the public reporting burden. The citations for 20 CFR 416
were not included in the 2009 clearance package, however the
burdens previously shown included SSI claims (20 CFR 416) as well
as Social Security claims (20 CFR 404), so no changes were needed
to reflect the addition of 20 CFR 416 citations.
