Disability Report-Adult-Form Ssa-3368-Bk Read All of This Information Before You Begin Completing This Form If You Need Help
If you need help with this form, do as much of it as you can, and your interviewer will
help you finish it.
The information that you give us on this form will be used by the office that makes the disability
decision on your disability claim. You can help them by completing as much of
the form as you can.
If you have any medical records and copies of prescriptions at home for the person who is
applying for disability benefits, send them to the office with your completed forms or
bring them with you to your interview. Also, bring any prescription bottles with you. If
you need the records back, tell us and we will photocopy them and return them to you.
“Disability” under Social Security is based on your inability to work. For purposes of this
claim, we want you to understand that “disability” means that you are unable to work as defined
by the Social Security Act. You will be considered disabled if you are unable to
do any kind of work for which you are suited and your disability is expected to last (or
has lasted) for at least a year or to result in death. So when we ask, “when did you
become unable to work,” we are asking when you became disabled as defined by the
Social Security Act.
The Social Security Administration is authorized to collect the information on this form under
sections 205(a), 223(d) and 1631(e)(1) of the Social Security Act. The information on this form is
needed by Social Security to make a decision on the named claimant’s claim. While giving us the
information on this form is voluntary, failure to provide all or part of the requested informa-tion could
prevent an accurate or timely decision on the name claimant’s claim. Although the information you
furnish is almost never used for any purpose other than making a determination about the claimant’s
disability, such information may be disclosed by the Social Security Administration as follows: (1) to
enable a third party or agency to assist Social Security in estab-lishing rights to Social Security
benefits and/or coverage; (2) to comply with Federal Laws requiring the release of information from
Social Security records (e.g., to the General Accounting Office and the Department of Veteran
Affairs); and (3) to facilitate statistical research and such activities necessary to assure the integrity
and improvement of the Social Security programs
 (e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and private concerns under contract to Social Security).
We may also use the information you give us when we match records by computer. Matching
programs compare our records with those of other Federal, State, or local government agencies.
Many agencies may use matching programs to find or prove that a person qualifies for benefits paid
by the Federal government. The law allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it. Explanations
about these and other reasons why information you provide us may be used or given out are
available in Social Security offices.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires us to notify you that this information
 collection is in accordance with the clearance requirements of Section 3507 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. We may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. We estimate that it
will take you about 30 minutes to complete this form. This includes the time it will take to read the
instructions, gather the necessary facts, and fill out the form.

We are requesting that you authorize the release of information about your impairment to us.
Sources usually require this authorization before releasing information to us. Also, the law requires
this authorization for release of information about certain conditions.
You can provide this authorization by signing a Form SSA-827, Authorization For Source to Release
Information to the Social Security Administration (SSA), for each source identified during your
disability interview or during the processing of your claim. We must inform you that because of
various Federal disclosure laws, SSA cannot give an absolute pledge of confidentiality regarding information
submitted in connection with your claim.
The Social Security Administration is authorized to collect the information on this form under
sections 205(a), 223(d) and 1631(e)(1) of the Social Security Act. The information on this form is
needed by Social Security to make a decision on your claim. While giving us the information on this
form is voluntary, failure to provide all or part of the requested information could prevent an
accurate or timely decision on your claim and could result in the loss of benefits. Although the
information you furnish on this form is almost never used for any purpose other than making a determination
on your disability claim, such information may be disclosed by the Social Security Administration as
follows:
     (1) To enable a third party or agency to assist Social Security in establishing rights to Social
     Security benefits and/or coverage;
     (2) To comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from Social Security
         records (e.g., to the General Accounting Office and the Department of Veterans Affairs);
     (3) To facilitate statistical research and audit activities necessary to assure the integrity and
         improvement of the Social Security programs (e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and private
         concerns under contract to Social Security).
We may also use the information you give us when we match records by computer. Matching
programs compare our records with those of other Federal, State, or local government agencies.
Many agencies may use matching programs to find or prove that a person qualifies for benefits paid
by the Federal government. The law allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it.
Explanations about these and other reasons why information you provide us may be used or given
out are available in Social Security offices. If you want to learn more about this, contact any Social Security
office.

us about the kinds of work you did, including the types of skills you need and the physical
and mental requirements of each job. In Section 2, be sure to give us all of the different
kinds of work you have done in the last 15 years before you stopped working. There is a

      expected duration on the basis of the claimant's medically determinable impairment(s).
      C.      The severity of the symptom(s) and its alleged effect on function is consistent, in your judgment, with the total
      medical and nonmedical evidence, including statements by the claimant and others, observations regarding activities of
      daily living, and alterations of usual behavior or habits.
    A. Is a treating or examining source statement(s) regarding the claimant's physical capacities in file?
   Yes
    No (Includes situations in which there was no source or when the source(s) did not provide a statement regarding the

I. SUMMARY CONCLUSIONS
    This section is for recording summary conclusions derived from the evidence in file. Each mental activity is to be evaluated
    within the context of the individual's capacity to sustain that activity over a normal workday and workweek, on an ongoing
    basis. Detailed explanation of the degree of limitation for each category (A through D), as well as any other assessment
    information you deem appropriate, is to be recorded in Section III (Functional Capacity Assessment).
      If rating category 5 is checked for any of the following items, you MUST specify in Section II the evidence that is needed
      to make the assessment. If you conclude that the record is so inadequately documented that no accurate functional
      capacity assessment can be made, indicate in Section II what development is necessary, but DO NOT COMPLETE
      SECTION III.

The information that you give us on this form will be used by the office that makes the
disability decision on your disability claim. You can help them by completing as much of
the form as you can.
If you have any of the following records for the child at home, send them to our office
with your completed forms or bring them with you to the interview. If you need the
records back, tell us and we will photocopy them and return them to you.
The Social Security Administration is authorized to collect the information on this form under
sections 205(a), 223(d) and 1631(e)(1) of the Social Security Act. The information on this form
is needed by Social Security to make a decision on the named claimant’s claim. While giving us
the information on this form is voluntary, failure to provide all or part of the requested informa-
tion could prevent an accurate or timely decision on the named claimant’s claim. Although the
information you furnish is almost never used for any purpose other than making a determination
about the claimant’s disability, such information may be disclosed by the Social Security
Administration as follows: (1) to enable a third party or agency to assist Social Security in estab-
lishing rights to Social Security benefits and/or coverage; (2) to comply with Federal Laws
requiring the release of information from Social Security records (e.g., to the General Accounting
Office and the Department of Veteran Affairs); and (3) to facilitate statistical research and such
activities necessary to assure the integrity and improvement of the Social Security programs
(e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and private concerns under contract to Social Security).
We may also use the information you give us when we match records by computer. Matching
programs compare our records with those of other Federal, State, or local government agencies.
Many agencies may use matching programs to find or prove that a person qualifies for benefits
paid by the Federal government. The law allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it.
Explanations about these and other reasons why information you provide us may be used or given
out are available in Social Security offices.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires us to notify you that this information
collection is in accordance with the clearance requirements of Section 3507 of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995. We may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a
collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. We estimate that it
will take you about 40 minutes to complete this form. This includes the time it will take to read the
instructions, gather the necessary facts, and fill out the form.

I. SUMMARY
A. IMPAIRMENTS:
B. DISPOSITION: Check one entry that best describes your findings in this case. Complete this section last.
Explanation:
3.        MEDICALLY EQUALS LISTING__________________________. (Cite complete Listing and subsection(s), including any
          applicable B criteria for 112.00 and explain below.)
Explanation:
4.        FUNCTIONALLY EQUALS THE LISTINGS -The child’s medically determinable impairment or combination of
          impairments results in marked limitations in two domains or an extreme limitation in one domain (Explained in Section
          IIA&B), OR the impairment or combination of impairments is one of the examples cited in POMS DI 25225.060 (20 CFR
          416.926a(m)), example #____________(Explained in Section III.)
5.        IMPAIRMENT OR COMBINATION OF IMPAIRMENTS IS SEVERE, BUT DOES NOT MEET, MEDICALLY EQUAL,
          OR FUNCTIONALLY EQUAL THE LISTINGS. (Explained in Section(s) IIA&B and, if applicable, III.)
6.        DOES NOT MEET THE DURATION REQUIREMENT-The child’s medically determinable impairment(s) is or was of
          listing-level severity, but is not expected to be, or was not, of listing-level severity for 12 continuous months, and is not
          expected to result in death. (Explained in Section(s) IIA&B and, if applicable, III.)
     I affirm, by signing below, that when I evaluated the child’s functioning in deciding:
     § If there is a severe impairment(s);
     § If the impairment(s) meets or medically equals a listing (if the listing includes functioning in its criteria); and
     § If the impairment(s) functionally equals the listings;
     I considered the following factors and evidence.
FACTORS:
1. How the child's functioning compares to that of children the same age who do not have impairments; i.e., what the child is able to
   do, not able to do, or is limited or restricted in doing.
2.   Combined effects of multiple impairments and the interactive and cumulative effects of an impairment(s) on the child’s activities,
     considering that any activity may involve the integrated use of many abilities. So,
     § A single limitation may be the result of one or more impairments, and
     § A single impairment may have effects in more than one domain.
4. Child’s functioning in unusual settings, (e.g., one-to-one, a CE) vs. routine settings (e.g., home, childcare, school).
5.    Early intervention and school programs (e.g., school records, comprehensive testing, IEPs, class placement, special education
      services, accommodations, attendance, participation).
6.   Impact of chronic illness, characterized by episodes of exacerbation and remission, and how it interferes with the child’s activities
     over time.
7.   Effects of treatment, including adverse and beneficial effects of medications and other treatments, and if they interfere with the
     child's day-to-day functioning.
EVIDENCE:
For all dispositions, wherever appropriate, I have explained how I considered the medical, early intervention, school/pre-school,
parent/caregiver, and other relevant evidence that supports my findings, how I weighed medical opinion evidence, evaluated physical
and mental symptoms, resolved any material inconsistencies, and weighed evidence when material inconsistencies in the file could not
be resolved. I have considered and explained test results in the context of all the other evidence.
The consultant with overall responsibility for the findings in this SSA-538 must complete the first signature line (See DI
25230.001B4). If any additional consultants provided input to these findings, they must also sign in the boxes following.
Consultant with overall responsibility (Sign, print name and specialty) Date
Consider functional equivalence when the child’s medically determinable impairment(s) is “severe” but does not meet or medically
equal a listing. An impairment(s) functionally equals the listings if it results in “marked and severe functional limitations," i.e., the
impairment(s) causes “marked” limitations in two domains or an “extreme” limitation in one domain. FOR DEFINITIONS OF
“MARKED” AND “EXTREME” see page 5.
Describe and evaluate the child’s functioning in all domains; see POMS DI 25225.025-.055 (20 CFR 416.926a(f)-(l)). Then
discuss the factors that apply in the child’s case and how you evaluated the evidence as described in Section IC above and in
POMS DI 25210.001ff. (20 CFR 416.924a). Rate the limitations that result from the child’s medically determinable impairment(s).
Check one box for each domain to indicate the degree of limitation assessed.
A. DOMAIN EVALUATIONS
1. Acquiring and Using Information no limitation less than marked marked extreme
4. Moving About and Manipulating Objects no limitation less than marked marked extreme
The impairment(s) interferes seriously with the child’s ability to independently initiate, sustain, or complete domain-related
activities. Day-to-day functioning may be seriously limited when the child’s impairment(s) limits only one activity or when the
interactive and cumulative effects of the child’s impairment(s) limit several activities.
§   “More than moderate” but “less than extreme” limitation (i.e., the equivalent of functioning we would expect to find on
    standardized testing with scores that are at least two, but less than three, standard deviations below the mean), or
§   Up to attainment of age 3, functioning at a level that is more than one-half but not more than two-thirds of the child’s
    chronological age when there are no standard scores from standardized tests in the case record, or
§   At any age, a valid score that is two standard deviations or more below the mean, but less than three standard deviations, on a
    comprehensive standardized test designed to measure ability or functioning in that domain, and the child’s day-to-day functioning
    in domain-related activities is consistent with that score.
For the "Health and Physical Well-Being" domain, we may also find a "marked" limitation if the child is frequently ill or has
frequent exacerbations that result in significant, documented symptoms or signs. For purposes of this domain, "frequent" means
episodes of illness or exacerbations that occur on an average of 3 times a year, or once every 4 months, each lasting 2 weeks or more.
We may also find a "marked" limitation if the child has episodes that:
§ occur more often than 3 times in a year or once every 4 months but do not last for 2 weeks, or
§ occur less often than an average of 3 times a year or once every 4 months but last longer than 2 weeks,
if the overall effect (based on the length of the episode(s) or its frequency) is equivalent in severity.
The impairment(s) interferes very seriously with the child’s ability to independently initiate, sustain, or complete
domain-related activities. Day-to-day functioning may be very seriously limited when the child’s impairment(s) limits only one
activity or when the interactive and cumulative effects of the child’s impairment(s) limit several activities. "Extreme" describes the
worst limitations, but does not necessarily mean a total lack or loss of ability to function.
§ “More than marked” limitation (i.e., the equivalent of the functioning we would expect to find on standardized testing with scores
     that are at least three standard deviations below the mean), or
§ Up to attainment of age 3, functioning at a level that is one-half of the child’s chronological age or less when there are no standard
     scores from standardized tests in the case record, or
§ At any age, a valid score that is three standard deviations or more below the mean on a comprehensive standardized test designed
     to measure ability or functioning in that domain, and the child’s day-to-day functioning in domain-related activities is consistent
     with that score.
For the “Health and Physical Well-Being” domain we may also find an “extreme” limitation if the child is ill or has frequent
exacerbations that result in significant, documented symptoms or signs substantially in excess of the requirements for showing a
“marked” limitation. However, if the child has episodes of illness or exacerbations of the impairment(s) that we would rate as
“extreme” under this definition, the impairment(s) should meet or medically equal the requirements of a listing in most cases.
The Social Security Administration is authorized to collect the information on this form under sections 1614 and 1633 of the Social Security Act. The information on
this form is needed to make a decision on a claim for benefits. Completion of this form is required under 20 CFR section 416.924(g). If you do not provide the
requested information, we may not be able to make a decision on the child’s claim for benefits. Although this information is almost never used for any purposes other
than making a determination about the child’s claim, the information may be disclosed to another person or governmental agency as follows: (1) to enable a third party
or agency to assist Social Security in establishing rights to benefits and/or coverage; (2) to comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from Social
Security Administration records (e.g., to the General Accounting Office and the Department of Veterans Affairs); and (3) to facilitate statistical research and such
activities necessary to assure the integrity and improvement of the Social Security Programs (e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and private concerns under contract to
Social Security).
We may also use this information when we match records by computer agencies. Many agencies may use matching programs to find or prove that a person qualifies for
benefits paid by the Federal government. The law allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it.
Explanations about these and other reasons why this information you provide may be used or given out are available in Social Security offices. If you want to learn
more about this, contact any Social Security office.
This information collection meets the clearance requirements of 44 U.S.C. § 3507, as amended by section 2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You are not
required to answer these questions unless we display a valid Office of Management and Budget control number. We estimate that it will take about 25 minutes, on
average, to complete this form. This includes the time it will take to read the instructions and complete the appropriate sections.
