Abstract: These systems enhancements do not affect the public reporting burden. SSA requires SSI recipients to report changes that could affect their eligibility for and the amount of their SSI payments, such as changes in income, resources, and living arrangements. The SSI Telephone Wage Reporting and Mobile Wage Reporting applications, enables SSI recipients to meet these requirements by providing them with a fully automated mechanism to report their monthly wages by telephone, or smart phone application instead of contacting their local SSA field office. The systems permit reporters to voluntarily make the wage report by speaking their responses via phone, keying their responses on a telephone key pad, or keying responses into smart phone screens. We are making minor revisions to the SSIMWR screens and the SSITWR promts. Specifically, we are making systems enhancements to remove 6-day reporting cut-off and allow reporters to report wages all month; other minor systems enhancements will improve clarity and ease of use for reporters.
