SSA uses the SSA-824 to obtain medical
evidence from medical sources that have treated the claimant for a
mental impairment. SSA uses the information collected on this form
to establish whether a claimant filing for disability benefits has
a mental impairment that meets the statutory definition of
disability in the Act. The respondents are mental treatment
facilities.
There are no changes in the
public reporting burden. However, prior to ROCIS we were unable to
create separate ICs for the types of respondents (Private Sector
and State DDSs). We have created separate ICs within this ICR to
show each of the types of respondents individually.
