    1. Application for Supplemental Security Income--20 CFR 416.207 and 
416.305-416-335, Subpart C--0960-0229. The Supplemental Security Income 
(SSI) program provides aged, blind, and disabled individuals who have 
little or no income with funds for food, clothing, and shelter. 
Individuals complete Form SSA-8000 to apply for SSI. SSA uses the 
information from Form SSA-8000 and its electronic intranet counterpart, 
the Modernized SSI Claims Systems (MSSICS), to determine: (1) Whether 
SSI claimants meet all statutory and regulatory eligibility 
requirements; and (2) SSI payment amounts. The respondents are 
applicants for SSI.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    Note: This is a correction notice. SSA published incorrect 
burden information for this collection at 76 FR 28297 on May 16, 
2011. We are correcting this error here.

    2. Disability Update Report--20 CFR 404.1589-.1595, 416.988-.996--
0960-0511. SSA periodically reviews current disability beneficiaries' 
cases to determine if they should continue to receive disability 
payments. SSA uses Form SSA-455 to determine if: (1) There is enough 
evidence to warrant referring the case for a full medical continuing 
disability review (CDR); (2) the beneficiary's impairment is unchanged 
or only slightly changed, precluding the need for a CDR; or (3) there 
are unresolved work-related issues. The respondents are recipients of 
Social Security disability benefits.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
    Number of Respondents: 1,100,000.
    Frequency of Response: 1.
    Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 275,000 hours.
