Request for Reinstatement - Title XVI
Eligible Individual

BNC#

Eligible Spouse

BNC#

I request reinstatement of my Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Disability benefits. I am blind or disabled and my impairment
is the same as (or related to) the impairment which was the basis for my prior eligibility. I meet the non-medical requirements for
SSI. I am not performing substantial gainful activity (SGA) and my medical condition prevents me from performing SGA.
I understand that I may be able to receive provisional (temporary) payments while my request for reinstatement is being decided.
For persons who are entitled to any other SSA benefits based on disability or blindness:
I understand that if SSA denies my request for reinstatement because I have medically improved, my current entitlement to SSA
benefits will be reviewed and may terminate.
I declare under penalty of perjury that I have examined all the information on this form, and on any accompanying
statements or forms, and it is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I understand that anyone who knowingly
gives a false or misleading statement about a material fact in this information, or causes someone else to do so,
commits a crime and may be sent to prison, or may face other penalties, or both.

Collection and Use of Personal Information
Section 223 of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorizes us to collect this information. Furnishing us this information is
voluntary. However, failing to provide all or part of the information may prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision
on benefit eligibility.
We will use the information to verify eligibility for benefits. We may also share your information for the following purposes, called
routine uses:
• To Federal, State or local agencies (or agents on their behalf) for administering cash or non-cash income maintenance or
health maintenance programs (including programs under the Act); and
• Disclosure to contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting the Social Security
Administration in the efficient administration of its programs.
In addition, we may share this information in accordance with the Privacy Act or other Federal laws. For example, where
authorized, we may use and disclose this information in computer matching programs, in which our records are compared with
other records to establish or verify a person's eligibility for Federal benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect or delinquent
debts under these programs.
A list of additional routine uses is available in our Privacy Act System of Records Notices (SORN) 60-0089, entitled Claims Folder
