    Important Social Security Disability Forms that You Will See

    The Social Security Administration (SSA) has forms covering your health problems, your work history, and every step in the process of applying for disability benefits or appealing a denial of disability benefits.

    These are some of the key forms you will likely see as you pursue your Social Security Disability claim:

    • Function Report – Adult (Form SSA-3373): This form covers how you function on a daily basis with your medical conditions.
    • Work History Report (Form SSA-3369-BK): This form asks for 15 years of details on your past jobs and the demands of those jobs, in light of the impairments you now experience.
    • Disability Report – Adult (Form SSA-3368-BK): This is one of the forms that starts your Social Security Disability claim.
    • Disability Report – Appeal (Form SSA-3441-BK): When you’ve already applied for disability benefits and you’ve gotten a notice of denial, this form lets you start the process of appealing the denial.
    • Claimants’ Recent Medical Treatment – (Form HA-4631): While you’re appealing your denial, this form lets you update Social Security on more medical treatment you’ve received.

    If you’re not sure how to move forward with your Social Security Disability claim, you can get help from someone with experience in this process.
