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).
