SSA is requesting to make revisions to
the CBSV User Agreement. This collection instrument defines the
conditons, terms, and safeguards under which SSA provides
participating businesses with the verification of Social Security
numbers. This action does not affect the public reporting burden.
SSA developed CBSV in response to multiple requests from the
business community. CBSV is a fee-for-service process which allows
SSA to process high volumes of SSN verifications that companies
need for business purposes. Since this is not required by law but
is being provided as a service, businesses incur the costs of CBSV.
The respondents are companies requesting SSN verifications from SSA
as part of their business process. This is a non-substantive Change
Request to decrease the transaction rate from $1.40 to $1.00,
effective October 1,2016.
US Code:

USC 405 Name of Law: Social Security Act
US Code: 42
USC 1306 Name of Law: Social Security Act
Due to the decrease in the
transaction fee from $1.40 to $1.00, we believe requests will
increase, which will subsequently increase our burden.
