SSA requires SSI recipients to report
changes, which could affect their eligibility for, and the amount
of their SSI payments, such as changes in income, resources, and
living arrangements. SSA’s SSI Telephone Wage Reporting (SSITWR)
and SSI Mobile Wage Reporting (SSIMWR) enable SSI recipients to
meet these requirements via an automated mechanism to report their
monthly wages by telephone and mobile application, instead of
contacting their local field offices. The SSITWR allows callers to
report their wages by speaking their responses through voice
recognition technology, or by keying in responses using a telephone
key pad. The SSIMWR allows recipients to report their wages trough
the mobile wage reporting application on their smartphone. SSITWR
and SSIMWR systems collect the same information and send it to SSA
over secure channels. To ensure the security of the information
provided, SSITWR and SSIMWR ask respondents to provide information
SSA can compare against our records for authentication purposes.
Once the system authenticates the identity of the respondents, they
can report their wage data. The respondents are SSI recipients,
deemors, or their representative payees .

There are changes to the public
reporting burden. This change stems from SSA basing prior figures
on projected users due to the introduction of the SSIMWR pilot.
Since then, the SSIMWR application is now in production. These new
figures reflect the actual user data of both the SSITWR system and
the SSIMWR application.
