We based these figures on average hourly wages for paralegals/legal assistants and lawyers as posted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics https www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm.
This figure does not represent actual costs that SSA is imposing on recipients of Social Security payments to complete this application; rather, these are theoretical opportunity costs for the additional time respondents will spend to complete the application. There is no actual charge to respondents to complete the application.

II. SSA submitted the information collections below to OMB for clearance.
Your comments regarding these information collections would be most useful if OMB and SSA receive them 30
days from the date of this publication.
To be sure we consider your comments, we must receive them no later than March 31, 2021. Individuals can obtain copies of these OMB clearance packages by writing to OR.Reports.Clearance@

1. Letter to Employer Requesting Information About Wages Earned By
Beneficiary20 CFR 404.1520, 404.1571404.1576, 404.1584404.1593, and 416.971416.97609600034.
Social Security disability recipients receive payments based on their inability to engage in substantial gainful activity SGA because of a physical or mental condition. If the recipients work, SSA must evaluate if they continue to meet the disability requirements of the law. When an individual is unable to provide earnings information and SSA
does not have access to proof of earnings, we use Form SSAL725 to
request monthly earnings information from the recipients employer. SSA
employees send the paper from SSA
L725 to the employer to complete, and use the earnings data we receive from the employers to determine whether the recipient is engaging in SGA, since work above SGA level can cause a cessation of disability payments. The respondents are businesses that employ Social Security disability recipients.
Type of Request: Revision of an OMBapproved information collection.
