    Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Claim Information Notice--20 
CFR, Subpart B, 416.210--0960-0324. Section 1611(e)(2) of the Social 
Security Act requires individuals to file for and obtain all payments 
(annuities, pensions, disability benefits, veteran's compensation, 
etc.) for which they are eligible before qualifying for SSI payments. 
Individuals do not qualify for SSI if they do not first apply for all 
other benefits. SSA uses the information on Form SSA-L8050-U3 to verify 
and establish a claimant's or recipient's eligibility under the SSI 
program. Respondents are SSI applicants or recipients who may be 
eligible for other payments from public or private programs.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    II. SSA submitted the information collections below to OMB for

this publication. To be sure we consider your comments, we must receive 
them no later than October 13, 2017. Individuals can obtain copies of 
the OMB clearance packages by writing to [email protected].
    1. Medical Permit Parking Application--41 CFR 101-20--104.2--0960-
0624. SSA employees and contractors with a qualifying medical condition 
who park at SSA-owned and leased facilities may apply to receive a 
medical parking permit. SSA uses three forms for this program: (1) SSA-
3192, the Application and Statement. which an individual completes when 
first applying for the medical parking space; (2) SSA-3193, the 
Physician's Report, which the applicant's physician completes to verify 
the medical condition; and (3) SSA-3194, Renewal Certification, which 
medical parking permit holders complete to verify their continued need 
for the permit. The respondents are SSA employees and contractors 
seeking medical parking permits and their physicians.
    Note: Because SSA employees are Federal workers exempt from the 
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, the burden below is only 
for SSA contractors and physicians (of both SSA employees and 
contractors).
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    2. Screen Pop--20 CFR 401.45--0960-0790. Section 205(a) of the ACT 
requires SSA to verify the identity of individuals who request a record 
or information pertaining to themselves, and to establish procedures 
for disclosing personal information. SSA established Screen Pop, an 
automated telephone process, to speed up verification for such 
individuals. Accessing Screen Pop, callers enter their Social Security 
number (SSN) using their telephone keypad or speech technology prior to 
speaking with a National 800 Number Network (N8NN) agent. The automated 
Screen Pop application collects the SSN and routes it to the ``Start 
New Call'' Customer Help and Information (CHIP) screen. Functionality 
for the Screen Pop application ends once the SSN connects to the CHIP 
screen and the SSN routes to the agent's screen. When the call connects 
to the N8NN agent, the agent can use the SSN to access the caller's 
record as needed. The respondents for this collection are individuals 
who contact SSA's N8NN to speak with an agent.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.

    3. Incoming and Outgoing Intergovernmental Personnel Act Assignment 
Agreement--5 CFR 334--0960-0792. The Intergovernmental Personnel Act 
(IPA) mobility program provides for the temporary assignment of 
civilian personnel between the Federal Government and State and local 
governments; colleges and universities; Indian tribal governments; 
federally funded research and development centers; and other eligible 
organizations. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) created a 
generic form, the OF-69, for agencies to use as a template when 
collecting information for the IPA assignment. The OF-69 collects 
specific information about the agreement including: (1) The enrolled 
employee's name, Social Security number, job title, salary, 
classification, and address; (2) the type of assignment; (3) the 
reimbursement arrangement; and (4) an explanation as to how the 
assignment benefits both SSA and the non-federal organization involved 
in the exchange. OPM directs agencies to use their own forms for 
recording these agreements. Accordingly, SSA modified the OF-69 to meet 
our needs, creating the SSA-187 for incoming employees and the SSA-188 
for outgoing employees. SSA collects information on the SSA-187 and 
SSA-188 to document the IPA assignment and to act as an agreement 
between the agencies. Respondents are personnel from State and local 
governments; colleges and universities; Indian tribal governments; 
federally funded research and development centers; and other eligible 
organizations who participate in the IPA exchange with SSA.
    Type of Request: Revision of an OMB-approved information 
collection.
