Abstract: Section 205 (a), 223 (d) (5) (A), 1631(d) (1), and 1631 (e) (1) of the Social Security Act (Act) require claimants’ applying for Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income benefits to provide SSA with medical and other evidence of their disability. 20 CFR 404.1512 and 20 CFR 416.912 of the Code of Federal Regulations provides detailed requirements of the types of evidence Social Security disability claimants and beneficiaries must provide showing how their impairment(s) affects their ability to work (e.g., evidence of age, education and training, work experience, daily activities, efforts to work, and any other evidence). Past employers familiar with the claimant’s ability to perform work activities completes Form SSA-385-BK, Report of Adult Functioning-Employer to provide SSA with information about the employees day-to-day functioning in the work setting. SSA and Disability Determination Services use the information Form SSA-3385-BK collects as the basis to determine eligibility or continued eligibility for disability benefits.
