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.
