Abstract: SSA uses the information collected on Form SSA-8203-BK for high-error-profile (HEP) redeterminations of disability to determine whether SSI recipients have met, and continue to meet, all statutory and regulatory requirements for SSI eligibility. SSA also uses the information to determine SSI recipients have been, and are still receiving, the correct SSI payment amount. Periodic collection of this information is the only way SSA can make these determinations, and collection of this information is mandatory under the law. The information is normally completed in field offices by personal contact (face-to-face or telephone interview) using the automated Modernized SSI Claim System (MSSICS). The respondents are SSI recipients or their representative payees.
