SSA requests information on Form SSA-3371-BK to provide disability interviewers, as well as applicants or claimants in self-help situations, with a convenient means to record information about the claimant's pain or other symptoms. The State disability determination services (DDS) adjudicators and administrative law judges then use the information to assess the effects of symptoms on function for purposes of determining disability under the Social Security Act. The respondents are applicants for or claimants of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.
