OMB strongly presumes that this information collection should have an electronic submission modality prior to its next triannual renewal. No later than one year prior to resubmission of this information collection for triannual renewal, the agency will evaluate, and share with OMB the reasoning and results of the evaluation (including any relevant discussion of technical requirements and business process), the capacity to electronically receive and process this form through eSubmit or an alternative electronic submission method. OMB will not grant future three-year approvals until this information collection can be conducted electronically. Consistent with accepting this information collection electronically, the agency will include updated notices to this information collection informing the respondent of how to respond electronically.

When claimants who request a hearing before a judge fail to appear at their scheduled hearing, the judge may reschedule the hearing if the claimants establish good cause for missing the hearing. To establish good cause, following: (1) SSA did not properly notify the claimant of the hearing, or (2) an unexpected event occurred without sufficient time for the claimant to request a postponement. The claimants can use paper Form HA-L90 or HA-L90-OP1 to provide their reason for not appearing at their scheduled hearings; or the claimantsâ representatives can use Electronic Records Express (ERE), OMB Control No. 0960-0753, to submit the forms online. SSA uses the HA-L90 for new cases, and the HA-L90-OP1 for redeterminations cases. We need two versions of the paper form, as the judge follows different procedures when determining the good cause on redetermination cases (cases that have a prior decision and evidence on file), than they do for new cases (where we have no evidence on file). If the judge determines the claimants established good cause for failure to appear at the hearing, the judge will schedule a supplemental hearing; if not, the judge will make a claims eligibility determination based on the claimantsâ evidence of record. Respondents are claimants, or their representatives, seeking to establish good cause for failure to appear at a scheduled hearing before a judge.
