SSA allows certain previously entitled
disability beneficiaries to request expedited reinstatement (EXR)
of benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act when their
medical condition no longer permits them to perform substantial
gainful activity. SSA uses Form SSA-371 to obtain: (1) A signed
statement from individuals requesting an EXR of their Title II
disability benefits, and (2) proof the requestors meet the EXR
requirements. SSA maintains the form in the disability folder of
the applicant to demonstrate the requestors’ awareness of the EXR
requirements, and their choice to request EXR. Respondents are
applicants for EXR of Title II disability benefits.
