Abstract: SSA requires SSI recipients to report changes that could affect their eligibility for and the amount of their SSI payments, such as changes in income, resources, and living arrangements. The SSI Telephone Wage Reporting and Mobile Wage Reporting applications, enables SSI recipients to meet these requirements by providing them with a fully automated mechanism to report their monthly wages by telephone, or smart phone application instead of contacting their local SSA field office. The systems permit reporters to voluntarily make the wage report by speaking their responses via phone, keying their responses on a telephone key pad, or keying responses into smart phone screens. The automated system collects the information and sends it to SSA over secure channels. To ensure the security of the information provided, callers provide information SSA can compare against its records for authentication purposes, The respondents are SSI recipients, deemors, and representative payees of recipients.
