Form SSA-3820-BK. Disability Report - Child

Form SSA-3820-BK, the Disability Report for Children, serves as a report for parents or guardians to provide detailed information about a child's disability or medical condition. The primary purpose of this form is to assist the Social Security Administration (SSA) in evaluating disability claims for children under the age of 18.

For example, if a child has a disability and is applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, their parents or guardians may complete this form to provide essential information about the child's condition. The purpose is to help the SSA assess the severity of the child's disability and determine eligibility for SSI benefits.

The parties involved are parents or guardians of children applying for SSI benefits on behalf of the child and the SSA. The form typically consists of sections related to the child's medical condition, treatments, and the impact of the condition on their daily activities. Accurate and detailed reporting is crucial for the SSA to assess eligibility for SSI benefits for children.
