Title and Purpose of information collection: Representative Payee Parental Custody Monitoring.
Under Section 12(a) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA), the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is authorized to select, make payments to, and to conduct transactions with, a beneficiary's relative or some other person willing to act on behalf of the beneficiary as a representative payee. The RRB is responsible for determining if direct payment of the beneficiary or payment to a representative payee would best serve the beneficary's interest. Inherent in the RRB's authorization to select a representative payee is the responsibility to monitor the payee to assure that the beneficiary's interests are protected. Triennially, the RRB utilizes Form G99d, Parental Custody Report, to obtain information needed to verify that a parentforchild representative payee still has custody of the child. One response is required from each respondent. The RRB proposes minor nonburden impacting editorial changes to Form G99d.
Estimate of Annual Respondent Burden
The estimated annual respondent burden is as follows: Annual Burden Form/Nos. responses Time (min) (hrs) G99d............................ 1,850 5 154
