Abstract

As part of the DoD-wide effort to promote resource utilization for those who experienced Unwanted Sexual Contact (USC; i.e., sexual assault and sexual harassment), the Department of Navy (DoN) Office of Force Resiliency (OFR) developed and recently updated the Prevention Plan of Action (aka Prevention Plan of Action 2.0, 2022-2024; PPoA 2.0). The PPoA 2.0 is a strategy framework leveraging public health science in military environments to prevent sexual assault in the military and improve response efforts. As part of this initiative, OFR commissioned this study (Agreement #NMR-24-11717) to investigate the factors influencing reporting and resource utilization among men who experienced USC during military service. This DoN OFR-commissioned investigation involves three study phases, and findings from each phase will be pieced together to provide a comprehensive understanding of resource utilization decision-making processes among men affected by USC and will inform the development of programmatic recommendations to improve resource utilization. Phase 1) A systematic literature review (no human subjects involvement), Phase 2) An archival data analysis of deidentified data with no human subjects involvement, and Phase 3) A narrative/semi-structured interview study of male Sailors who report experiencing USC and/or sexual harassment during military service to build upon limited research among men. Finally, findings will be used to develop recommendations to modify extant policy and practices around sexual assault reporting and service utilization by male Sailors (no human subjects involvement). This information collection request describes our data collection efforts for Phase 3, a primary interview data collection with men who have experienced USC and/or sexual harassment during military service.

Abstract

Title II recipients use Forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S, Social Security Benefit Statement, to determine if their Social Security benefits are taxable and the amount they need to report to the Internal Revenue Service. In cases where the original forms are unavailable (e.g., lost, stolen, mutilated), an individual may use SSA's Internet request form or automated telephone application to request a replacement SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S. SSA uses the information from the Internet and automated telephone requests to verify the identity of the requestor and to provide replacement copies of the forms. The Internet and automated telephone options educe requests to the National 800 Number Network (N8NN) and visits to local Social Security field offices. The respondents are applicants for, or claimants of, SSI payments. We are submitted a Non-Substantive Change Request to make changes to the system to allow callers to obtain any or all of the 5-tax year SSA-1099 or SSA-1042s prior to the current closed tax year they can already obtain for themselves or a deceased person.

Abstract

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act promotes the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology (IT), particularly in the context of working with government agencies. Similarly, section 3004 of the Public Health Service Act requires health care providers or health insurance issuers with government contracts to implement, acquire, or upgrade their health IT systems and products to meet adopted standards and implementation specifications. To support expansion of SSA's health IT initiative as defined under HITECH, SSA developed Form SSA-680, the Health IT Partner Program Assessment – Participating Facilities and Available Content Form. The SSA 680 allows healthcare providers to provide the information SSA needs to determine their ability to exchange health information with us electronically. We evaluate potential partners (i.e., healthcare providers and organizations) on (1) the accessibility of health information they possess, and (2) the content value of their electronic health records' systems for our disability adjudication processes. SSA reviews the completeness of organizations' SSA-680 responses as one part of our careful analysis of their readiness to enter into a health IT partnership with us. The respondents are healthcare entities, healthcare providers, and HIEs who wish to engage in a Health IT partnership with SSA.

Abstract

According to regulations 20 CFR 416.1415 and 416.1618, a PRUCOL alien must present evidence of his/her alien status at application and periodically thereafter as part of the eligibility determination process for Supplemental Security Income. SSA verifies the validity of the evidence of PRUCOL for grandfathered nonqualified aliens with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Based on the DHS response, SSA determines whether the individual is PRUCOL. Without this information, SSA is unable to determine whether the individual is eligible for SSI payments. The respondents are qualified and unqualified aliens who apply for SSI payments under PRUCOL.
