The Disability Report-Adult collects medical and other evidence which is used to determine whether an adult's impairment is disabling, and consequently, if that adult is entitled to Title II and/or Title XVI disability payments from the Social Security Administration. The information can be collected through the following ways: a paper form, in an SSA field office, an Internet version, and a new Internet version designed to be completed by professional advocacy groups. The respondents are adult disability applicants or their representatives.
There is not a decrease in burden, when we separated the IC's the system is showing it as a decrease. There is actually a 1,337,156 hour increase in the public reporting burden (from 2,215,617 hours to 3,552,823 hours) since the last Supporting Statement was submitted to OMB. The change is due to several factors. A major factor is that we have been able to compile more accurate data since we prepared the previous Supporting Statement. Other factors are increased use of the EDCS 3368, i3368 and i3368-PRO, and the additional time it takes respondents to use the i3368 and i3368-PRO over the time it takes for use of the EDCS 3368 and paper SSA-3368.
