SSA uses Form SSA-3373-BK to collect
information about a disability applicant's or recipient's
impairment-related limitations and ability to function. This
information, together with medical evidence, forms the evidentiary
basis upon which the initial disability process is founded. The
respondents are title II and title XVI applicants(or current
recipients undergoing redeterminations for) disability
benefits.

When we last cleared this
information collection in 2009, the burden was 4,072,123 hours.
However, we are currently reporting a burden of 4,292,017 hours.
This change stems from an increase in the number of respondents.
The increase in the number of respondents reflects an increase in
claims for disability benefits.
