Online ID replaces paper signatures
SSA's IRES system replaces handwritten paper signatures with a User ID and password so individuals and businesses can register and access many SSA online and phone services. SSA estimates 14,741,136 annual respondents, a total annual burden of 505,014 hours, and a theoretical annual opportunity cost of $19,003,677; there is no actual charge to complete the registration.
SSA sends SSN to employers on request
If you apply for an initial Social Security Number and ask SSA to send it to your employer using Form SSA-132, SSA will mail the SSN to the employer to ensure correct wage reporting and to reduce delays in SSN assignment and delivery. SSA estimates 361,902 annual respondents, 30,159 total annual burden hours, an average wait time in field offices of 24 minutes, and a theoretical annual opportunity cost of $5,506,482.
