SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

We use the Completed Determination Record—Continuing Disability Determinations SORN to cover records on allowed disability claimants on which a continuing disability issue has occurred and a decision of continuance or cessation has been approved and Title II and Title XVI disability beneficiaries who have been selected to receive a Ticket-to-Work as part of the Ticket-to-Work and Self-Sufficiency Program.

We are modifying routine use number 8 to include disclosures we make to State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies (SVRAs). This modification will cover SVRAs who provide services to individuals who are participants in the Ticket-to-Work and Self-Sufficiency Program.

In addition, we are also updating the Policies and Practices for Storage of Records section to more accurately reflect the record storage process at SSA. Finally, we are making minor updates to the System Location section, to comply with revised OMB Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act.

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), we have provided a report to OMB and Congress on this modified system of records.
