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.

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.
