Abstract: When 1) child claimants for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits receive an unfavorable disability eligibility decision, and the people applying on their behalf want to appeal the decision; or 2) when children are currently receiving Disabled Child (DC) payments and the Social Security Administration (SSA) is reviewing their continued eligibility, these disability applicants and recipients need a mechanism to submit relevant evidence about the child's functioning. SSA uses Form SSA-3881, the Questionnaire for Children Claiming SSI Benefits, for that purpose. The respondents are parents or legal guardians of the child disability applicants/recipients.
