If the requestor provides acceptable proof of death on an appeal, we reverse the decision and release the records.Ex. 527Ex. 618Ex. 7(C)8NoRecords7FeeRelated1N/A00495731872011-02-041712011-06-03862011-07-25502011-08-01452011-08-03432011-08-05412011-08-31232011-09-07182011-09-14132011-09-2091722315947563248SSA grants expedited processing if it involves an imminent threat to a person's life or physical safety; if a member of the media makes the request to obtain information that the public has an urgent need to know and the records would cover an actual or an alleged Federal Government activity; or if the individual explains in detail that he or she may be denied a legal right, benefit, or remedy without the requested information.17203159465432221-202861621-40222641-6041261-8020581-100200101-120135121-1401141-1601161-1800181-2000201-3000301-4000401+0317961-2042221-407541-607561-802681-10026101-1207121-1408141-1603161-1804181-2002201-3001301-4000401+06491-20021-40041-60061-80081-1000101-1200121-1400141-1600161-1800181-2000201-3000301-4000401+008286111720320002011-02-041712011-02-251562011-03-041512011-03-281352011-04-111252011-05-031092011-06-03862011-06-07842011-06-07842011-06-07840000021888We review requests for fee waivers on a case-by-case basis. Only the SSA FOI Officer may waive or reduce a fee (in excess of $7.50). We usually grant a fee waiver when it has been determined that furnishing the information will primarily benefit the public. We normally grant fee waivers from members of the media and educational and scientific institutions when we need only limited search time to respond, or if the request is duplicative.236083398263338507402114014822130.3722Because of system enhancements and reporting changes implemented in FY 2009, we no longer report in this calculation the fees we collected from our first-party requests. Therefore, the fees collected are significantly lower than that provided in past reports. Most of the fees we collect from first-parties for earnings records and Social Security Number verifications are not based on the FOIA, but on a separate provision for fee charging found in section 1106(c) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(c)).38700003299732456330123244568381559814810037
