We will implement these updates upon OMB’s approval.
Justification for Resubmission of the Collection within One Year of Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Approval
We are implementing the changes above within one year of OMB’s approval, because we developed the myWageReport application using a method that focuses on adaptability and user satisfaction, and is broken into incremental builds. These updates incorporate enhancements and respond to myWageReport user needs. With the roll out of the Individual Representative Payee Portal (IRPP) within the mySSA application, we are implementing changes to the navigation paths myWageReport and mySSA users currently see. We will implement these changes, and display the appropriate wage reporting screens and options to the user based on their role of Representative Payee, Self-Reporter, or Deemor. The path will contain language changes and the introduction of modals and screens to provide clarity to the user. The new screens will display specific information for Title II, Title XVI, and Concurrent beneficiaries and reporters. The information the reporters and items displayed to the Self-Reporter will be different from the Representative Payee reporting wages for a beneficiary. Since the method we used for development focuses on adaptability, we will likely need to submit subsequent Change Requests for further minor revisions as the need arises.
