We are issuing these final rules to adopt without change the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published on August 16, 2007 at 72 FR 45991. These final rules amend the regulation at 20 CFR 422.527, which requires a person, institution, or organization (person) to obtain the Social Security Administration's (SSA's) approval prior to reproducing, duplicating, or privately printing any SSA prescribed application or other form whether or not the person intended to charge a fee. Section 1140(a)(2)(A) of the Social Security Act (the Act) prohibits a person from charging a fee to reproduce, reprint, or distribute any SSA application, form, or publication unless he/she obtains the authorization of the Commissioner of Social Security in accordance with such regulations as he may prescribe.

I haven't read the original yet but out of context, it would prohibit even ptrinting out or reproducing your questionnaire materials when filling them out trough the internet.
I assume there's something in the regs that exempts a typical claimant on the internet filling out an application and or there's something in the internet wording processes that exempts the reproduction. Isn't there also an organizational set of questionnaires? IS there a provision in the reg or on the internet that allows internet organizational users from printing out without problem?
Do IRS forms and other government forms have the same issue or is every other agency's forms capable of use without getting permission.
Weird
This is probably just big brother protecting the knuckleheads that pay someone to send them an SS-5.
