Form SSA-3373-BK is used to collect information about a disability applicant's or recipient's impairment-related limitations and ability to function. This information, together with medical evidence, forms the evidentiary basis upon which the initial disability process is founded. The respondents are Title II and Title XVI applicants(or current recipients undergoing redeterminations for) disability benefits.
The increase in response time and resulting total burden is due to 1) complaints SSA received that its original estimate was too low and 2) the fact that we have added a number of new questions to this form (see attached addendum for detailed explanations).
