Individuals receiving or applying for
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental
Security Income (SSI) provide SSA with medical evidence and other
proof SSA requires to prove their disability. SSA, and Disability
Determination Services (DDS) on our behalf, collect this
information using Form SSA-3380-BK. We use the information to
document how claimant's disabilities affect their ability to
function, and to determine eligibility for SSI and SSDI claims. The
respondents are third parties familiar with the functional
limitations (or lack thereof) of claimants who apply for SSI and
SSDI benefits.

When we last cleared this
collection in 2016, the burden was 79,300 hours. However, we are
currently reporting a burden of 721,528 hours. This change stems
from an increase in the number of responses from 78,000 to 709,700.
There is no change to the burden time per response. Although the
number of responses changed, SSA did not take any actions to cause
this change.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
