Abstract: State Disability Determination Services (DDS) use Form SSA-3368, Disability Report – Adult, and its electronic versions, to determine if an adult disability applicant’s impairment(s) is severe and, if so, how the impairment(s) affects the applicant’s ability to work. This determination dictates whether the DDS and SSA will find the applicant disabled. The information we collect on the SSA 3368 is used by the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) to obtain evidence and evaluate whether or not an individual is found disabled. The collection is mandatory for applicants filing to obtain Title II disability benefits or Title XVI Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. We collect this information from the individual one time. We collect the information via several modalities: the SSA-3368-BK PDF paper form, the EDCS SSA-3368 Intranet application, and the i3368 Internet application. The respondents complete the SSA-3368 by themselves with self help information available, or another may complete the paper form or electronic application on their behalf. The respondents generally do not need information from someone else to complete the application. The respondents are disability applicants or third parties assisting the applicants applying for Title II disability benefits or Title XVI SSI payments. We are submitting a non-substantive Change Request to include the Final Rule revisions currently approved under 0960-0834 (Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How We Consider Past Work) under this ICR. Upon OMB's approval of this Change Request (and the Change Requests for both 0960-0300 and 0960-0578), we will discontinue the ICR for 0960-0834 to avoid double-counting the burden for these information collections.

Short Statement: The burden changes reflected here are the same burdens we published in the currently approved ICR for 0960-0834 (Intermediate Improvement to the Disability Adjudication Process, Including How We Consider Past Work). We are moving them from 0960-0834 to this ICR, after which we will discontinue 0960-0834 to avoid double-counting the burden. * Note: The total burden reflected in ROCIS is 5,163,963, while the burden cited in the attached Justification for the Non-Substantive Changes is 3,011,347. This discrepancy is because the ROCIS burden reflects the following components: field office and telephone waiting time + a rough estimate of a 30-minute, one-way, drive burden + learning costs. In contrast, the chart in the Justification reflects actual burden.
