Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for Emergency 
Review by the Office of Management and Budget

    The Social Security Administration publishes a list of information 
collection packages that will require clearance by OMB in compliance 
with P.L. 104-13 effective October 1, 1995, The Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995. The information collection listed below has been submitted to 
OMB for emergency clearance. OMB approval has been requested by June 
27, 1997: 0960-NEW. Request to Resolve Questionable Quarters of 
Coverage (SSA-512); Request for Quarters of Coverage History Based on 
Relationship (SSA-513)--0960-NEW. The Personal Responsibility and Work 
Opportunity Reconciliation Act states that aliens admitted for lawful 
residence who have worked and earned 40 qualifying quarters of coverage 
(QC) for Social Security purposes can generally receive State benefits. 
QCs can also be allocated to a spouse and/or to a child under age 18, 
if needed to obtain 40 qualifying QCs for the alien. The form SSA-512 
is used by the States to request clarification from SSA on questionable 
QC information. The form SSA-513 is used by States to request QC 
information for an alien's spouse or child in cases where the alien 
does not sign a consent form giving permission to access his/her social 
security records. The respondents are State agencies which require QC 
information in order to determine eligibility for benefits.
