Claim Number

Wage Earner's Name
I request reinstatement of my Social Security Disability Benefits. I am disabled and my impairment is the same as (or related to)
the impairment which was the basis for my prior entitlement. I am not performing substantial gainful activity (SGA) and my
medical condition prevents me from performing SGA.
I understand that I may be able to receive provisional (temporary) benefits while my request for reinstatement is being decided.
For persons who have extended medicare coverage
I understand that my Medicare coverage (Part A hospital insurance and Part B medical insurance) could terminate if my request
for reinstatement is denied.
For persons who are entitled to any other SSA benefits based on disability or blindness:
I understand that if SSA denies my request for reinstatement because I have medically improved, my current entitlement to SSA
benefits will be reviewed and may terminate.

I declare under the penalty of perjury that I have examined all the information on this form, and on any accompanying
statements or forms, and it is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand that anyone who knowingly
gives a false or misleading statement about a material fact in this information, or causes someone else to do so,
commits a crime and may be sent to prison, or may face other penalties, or both.

Section 223 (i) of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorizes us to collect this information. We will use
the information you provide to determine if you or your dependents are entitled to insurance coverage and/
or benefits.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the information
could prevent us from making an accurate decision on your request and could result in the loss of insurance
coverage and benefits.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than for determining eligibility for benefits.
However, we may use the information for the administration of our programs including sharing information:
1. To comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from our records (e.g., to the
Government Accountability Office and Department of Veterans Affairs); and,
2. To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigate activities necessary to ensure the integrity
and improvement of our programs (e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and to private entities
under contract with us).

We may also use the information you provide in computer matching programs. Matching programs compare
our records with records kept by other Federal, State, or local government agencies. Information from these
matching programs can be used to establish or verify a person's eligibility for federally funded or
administered benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect payments or delinquent debts under these
programs.
