from their supervisors. The information requested relates to the 
specific circumstances leading up to the recurrence and employment and 
earnings information. If this information were not collected, an 
eligible beneficiary could be denied benefits, or benefits could be 
authorized at an incorrect rate, resulting in an underpayment or 
overpayment of compensation.
