When claimants file a claim for
childhood disability benefits under the SSI program, they must
furnish medical and other evidence to prove they are disabled. Form
SSA3820 collects various types of information about a childs
condition from treating sources and/or other medical sources of
evidence. The DDS evaluators use the information to develop medical
and school evidence and to assess the alleged disability. The
information, together with medical evidence, forms the evidentiary
basis upon which SSA makes its initial disability evaluation. The
respondents are claimants seeking SSI childhood disability
payments. We are revising language on the SSA-3820 and the i3820
Internet application screens to change Mental Health/Retardation
Center to Mental health/Developmental Disabilities Center due to a
statuary change in terminology.
