The information collected on the SSA-3380-BK is needed to make determinations on SSI and SSDI disability claims. This information is necessary for case development and adjudication, and is used by State Disability Determination Services evaluators as an evidentiary source used in the disability evaluation process. The respondents are third parties familiar with the functional limitations (or lack thereof) of claimants who apply for Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income disability payments.
There is a change in the public reporting burden. On our prior Form-SSA-3380, we erroneously noted that we estimated that it would take 30 minutes to read the instructions, gather the facts and answer the questions. This was a typographical error. We intended to indicate that it would take 60 minutes to complete the form. We moved two questions from the former Form SSA-3368 (Disability Report) to the Form SSA-3380. This change resulted in a one-minute increase in the burden per response.
