Title II of the Social Security Act
provides retirement, survivors, and disability benefits to members
of the public who meet the required eligibility criteria and file
the appropriate application. This collection comprises the various
application methods for the retirement, survivors, and disability
benefits. These methods include the following modalities: paper
forms (Forms SSA–1, SSA–2, and SSA–16), Modernized Claims System
(MCS) screens for in-person interview applications, as well as the
Internet-based iClaim and iAppointment applications allowing the
public to apply electronically. SSA uses the information collected
using these modalities to determine: (1) the applicants'
eligibility for the above-mentioned Social Security benefits, and
(2) the amount of the benefits. The respondents are applicants for
retirement, survivors, and disability benefits under Title II of
the Act, their representatives, and in some instances, applicants
for SSI payments or their representatives who are requesting to
file for SSI through iClaim. We are submitting a Change Request to
utilize the Consolidated Claims Experience (CCE) System as a new
collection tool and make one minor informational revision to the
iClaim Electronic Signature screen.
