Abstract: Hospitals and claimants use Form SSA-3830 to provide medical information to local field offices (FOs) and Disability Determinations Services (DDSs) on behalf of infants with low birth weight. FOs use the form as a protective filing statement, and the medical information to make presumptive disability findings, which allow expedited payment to eligible claimants. DDSs use the medical information from the SSA-3830 to determine disability and continuing disability. The respondents are hospitals and claimants who have information identifying low birth weight babies and their medical conditions.
