U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information for the SF-424 Form

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information form for the SF-424 is used together with the SF-424, Application for Federal Assistance. Several years ago ED made a decision to switch from the Application for Federal Education Assistance or ED 424 (1890-0017) collection (now 1894-0007) to the SF-424, in order to adhere with Federal-wide forms standardization and streamlining efforts, especially with widespread agency use of Grants.gov. There were several data elements/questions on the ED 424 that were required for applicants and were not included on the SF-424. Therefore, ED put these questions that were already cleared as part of the 1894-0007 collection on a form entitled the, U.S. Department of Education Supplemental Information for the SF-424. The questions on this form deal with the following areas: Project Director identifying and contact information; General Education Provision Act Section 427 Assurance; New Potential Grantee; Human Subjects Research; and Infrastructure Programs and Build America, Buy America Act Applicability (BABAA). The ED supplemental information form can be used with any of the SF-424 forms in the SF-424 forms family, as applicable.

Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Disclosure Requirements Associated with Proprietary Trading and Certain Interests in and Relationships with Covered Funds

Key Information

Abstract

Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act added a new section 13 to the Bank Holding Company (BHC) Act (BHC Act) (codified at 12 U.S.C. 1851) that generally prohibits any banking entity from engaging in proprietary trading or from acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with a hedge fund or private equity fund, subject to certain exemptions. The OCC’s version of the rule is codified at 12 CFR part 44. The reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure requirements associated with the rule permit banking entities and the OCC to enforce compliance with section 13 of the BHC Act and the rule and to identify, monitor, and limit risks of activities permitted under section 13.

State-based Marketplace Annual Reporting Tool (SMART) (CMS-10507)

Key Information

Abstract

The Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA creates new competitive private health insurance markets - referred to as State-based Marketplaces (SBMs) - that will give millions of Americans and small businesses access to affordable healthcare coverage. HHS provides oversight and monitoring of SBMs to ensure they maintain adequate operational systems. Effective and efficient oversight of Marketplaces will help ensure that affordable and quality health coverage is available to all Americans through monitoring, reporting, and oversight of financial and other Marketplace activities. The SMAR is the primary vehicle to insure comprehensive compliance with all reporting requirements contained in the ACA and applicable Federal Regulations. It is specifically called for in Section 1313(a)(1) of the Act which requires an SBM to keep an accurate accounting of all activities, receipts, and expenditures, and to submit a report annually to the Secretary concerning such accounting. Instructions governing specific facets of the activities covered by the report are contained both in the Act and in various sections of applicable Federal Regulations. CMS has designed the SMAR to reduce the data collection to the maximum extent possible. While it is intended as a comprehensive compliance review to ensure SBM are fulfilling their statutory requirements, very little additional data gathering is required to complete the form. The respondents can answer most questions by attestations and uploading existing documents. Respondents complete the report entirely online.

Centenarian Project and Medicare Non-Utilzation Project Development Worksheets: Face-to-Face Interview; Telephone Interview

Key Information

Abstract

SSA conducts interviews with centenary Title II beneficiaries and Title XVI recipients, and Medicare Non-Utilization Project (MNUP) beneficiaries age 90 and older to: (1) Assess if the beneficiaries are still living; (2) prevent fraud through identity misrepresentation; and (3) evaluate the well-being of the recipients. SSA field office personnel obtain the information through one-time, in-person interviews with the centenarians and MNUP beneficiaries. If the centenarians and MNUP beneficiaries have representatives or caregivers, SSA personnel invite them to the interviews. During these interviews, SSA employees make overall observations of the centenarians, MNUP beneficiaries, and their representative payees (if applicable). The interviewer uses the appropriate Development Worksheet as a guide for the interview, in addition to documenting findings during the interview. Non-completion of the Worksheets, or refusal of the interviews, will result in the suspension of the centenarians’ or MNUP beneficiaries’ payments. SSA conducts the interviews either over the telephone or through a face-to-face discussion with the respondents. Respondents are SSI recipients or Social Security beneficiaries 100 years old or older; MNUP beneficiaries; their representative payees; or their caregivers.

Assessment of Fees

Key Information

Abstract

The National Bank Act (for national banks and Federal branches and agencies) and the Home Owners’ Loan Act (for Federal savings associations) authorize the OCC to collect assessments, fees, or other charges as necessary or appropriate to carry out the responsibilities of the OCC. The OCC requires independent credit card national banks and independent credit card Federal savings associations (collectively, independent credit card institutions) to pay an additional assessment based on receivables attributable to accounts owned by the national bank or Federal savings association. The OCC requires independent credit card institutions to report receivables attributable data to the OCC semiannually or at a time specified by the OCC. The OCC uses the information to calculate the assessment for each national bank and Federal savings association and adjust the assessment rate for independent credit card institutions over time.

Protection and Advocacy for Beneficiaries of Social Security (PABSS)

Key Information

Abstract

The PABSS projects are part of Social Security’s strategy to increase the number of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or SSI recipients who return to work and achieve financial independence and self-sufficiency as the result of receiving support, representation, advocacy, or other services. PABSS provides: (1) Information and advice about obtaining vocational rehabilitation and employment services; and (2) advocacy or other services a beneficiary with a disability may need to secure, maintain, or regain gainful employment. The PABSS Annual Program Performance Report collects statistical information from each of the PABSS projects in an effort to manage and capture program performance and quantitative data. Social Security uses the information to evaluate the efficiency of the program, and to ensure beneficiaries are receiving quality services. The project data is valuable to Social Security in its analysis of and future planning for the SSDI and SSI programs. The respondents are the 57 PABSS project sites, and recipients of SSDI and SSI programs.

Technical Updates to Applicability of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Reduced Benefit Rate for Individuals Residing in Medical Treatment Facilities. 20 CFR 416.708(k)

Key Information

Abstract

SSA uses this information collection to determine SSI eligibility or the benefit amount for SSI recipients who enter or leave institutions. SSA personnel collect this information directly from SSI recipients, or from someone reporting on their behalf. An SSI recipient who enters an institution may be unable to report; therefore, a family member sometimes makes this report on behalf of the recipient. When contacting SSA, the recipient or family member of the recipient provides the name of the institution; the date of admission; and the expected date of discharge. The respondents are SSI recipients who enter or leave an institution.

Conducting Personal Conferences When Waiver of Recovery of a Title II or Title XVI Overpayment Cannot be Approved

Key Information

Abstract

SSA conducts personal conferences when we cannot approve a waiver of recovery of a Title II or Title XVI overpayment. The Act and our regulatory citations require SSA to give overpaid Social Security beneficiaries and SSI recipients the right to request a waiver of recovery and automatically schedule a personal conference if we cannot approve their request for waiver of overpayment. We conduct these conferences face-to-face, via telephone, or through video teleconferences. Social Security beneficiaries and SSI recipients or their representatives may provide documents to demonstrate they are without fault in causing the overpayment and do not have the ability to repay the debt. They may submit these documents by completing Form SSA–632, Request for Waiver of Overpayment Recovery (OMB No. 0960–0037); Form SSA–795, Statement of Claimant or Other Person (OMB No. 0960–0045); or through a personal statement submitted by mail, telephone, personal contact, or other suitable method, such as fax or email. This information collection satisfies the requirements for request for waiver of recovery of an overpayment and allows individuals to pursue further levels of administrative appeal via personal conference. Respondents are Social Security Title II beneficiaries and Title XVI SSI recipients or their representative’s seeking reconsideration of an SSA waiver decision.

Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies Project

Key Information

Abstract

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) seeks approval to continue one data collection activity for the Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies (NextGen) Project. ACF has spent decades studying strategies to help people find and keep jobs. Findings from these studies have been mixed, revealing variation in what works for whom and the duration and magnitude of impacts. Some studies have also demonstrated that certain programs are less accessible to individuals with complex challenges, such as low educational attainment or involvement with the criminal justice system, due to the program’s eligibility requirements. The ongoing NextGen Project is intended to build on the findings from these past and ongoing studies by evaluating the effectiveness, implementation, and cost of innovative employment programs for people with complex barriers to employment. The current data collection extension request is necessary to finish collecting outcomes data from NextGen study participants 18-21 months after program enrollment, which is critical to evaluating the programs’ effectiveness at the time outcomes are likely to emerge.
