How to Fill Out Form SSA-3441-BK in Salinas

Disability Report Appeal Form

If you’ve been denied Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, you’re far from alone.

Social Security denies most people when they first apply.

At Angelina Valle & Associates, we strongly encourage you to consider appealing.

Appeals are when many people win benefits.

After you receive a denial letter from the SSA giving the reason why you were denied, Form SSA-3441 is a crucial part of filing your appeal.

Don’t delay starting your appeal. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a strict deadline for appeals. If you miss it, you might have to start over your application from the beginning.

So getting this form — called the “Disability Report – Appeal” — submitted on time is important to your case. You usually have about 60 days from your denial.

Make sure to submit the form before the deadline Social Security gives you. That way you keep your claim open and active.

You can fill out the form online, or fill out and return a paper form to a Social Security office.

What Information Do I Put on Form SSA-3441?

You’ll need to include:

  • Description of your medical condition
  • Details about your medical records
  • Names of your doctors or other health care providers
  • Names of your hospitals and clinics
  • List of your medications
  • List of the medical tests you’ve undergone
  • The latest on your work status
  • The latest on your daily activities

Tips for Filling Out Form SSA-3341

The most important thing to know about filling out Form SSA-3341 is don’t leave anything blank.

If a question doesn’t seem to apply to you, mark it “I don’t know” or “Not applicable.” If a question seems repetitive, fill it out anyway.

If you leave a blank field, it could delay your appeal.

Include copies of your medical records. You probably need to update your file with more information about treatment you received since you first applied for benefits.

And as you gather your answers for this form, save copies of the medical records you collect.

It’s always a good idea to hold onto those because you’ll need them later as your appeal moves forward.
