     On April 20, 1978, the Social Security Administration
 (SSA), with the Department of Health, Education, and Wel-
 fare's (HEW's) approval, requested permission from the
 General Services Administration to reactivate the monitoring
 of incoming public telephone calls to its teleservice centers.
 Presently, there are 31 teleservice centers assisting the
 public by answering questions on social security matters and
 by receiving and processing changes in beneficiary status-
 over the telephone. (See enclosure for center locations.)

     Your July 27, 1978, letter reuested     hat we answer
questions about the proposed monitortfhq-tivities. You
also requested on July 11, 1978, that SSA provide you with
similar information. As agreed on September 14, 1978, we
have answered your questions primarily by evaluating infor-
mation that SSA submitted in response to your request.

      Critical to SSA's proposal is whether telephone monitor-
 ing at teleservice centers is really needed. We have con-
 cluded that monitoring of incoming public telephone calls at
 the teleservice centers, if properly administered, could help
 ensure that accurate information is provided courteously to
 the public.
