Teacher Questionnaire
One of your current or former students has filed a claim for disability benefits. We need information from
you to help us make a decision. Please complete the enclose questionnaire.
Q. Why Do You Need Information From Me?
A. To decide whether a child qualifies for disability benefits, we use information from both medical and
non-medical sources. Medical sources include doctors and other health care professionals; non-
medical sources include teachers and other people who spend time with the child. Information from
sources who know the child well is important, because a child’s level of functioning at school, at home,
or in the community may affect his or her eligibility. The information you provide about the child’s day-
to-day functioning in school will help us to determine the effects of the child’s impairment(s). It will also
help us to compare this child’s functioning to that of other children the same age who do not have
impairments. We need this information from you even if you have taught (or did teach) the child for only
a short time. Your information is not the only information we will be considering when we decide if the
child qualifies for disability benefits, but it is very important to us.
Q. Is This Request Redundant? We (or Others) Have Already Evaluated This Child Under the
Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
A. The definition of disability in the Social Security Act is entirely separate from the definition of an
"educational disability" in the IDEA. We must determine whether a child's impairment(s) meets the SSA
definition of disability, regardless of the child's standing under the IDEA definition of educational
disability.
Q. I Do Not Think The Child Is Disabled. Should I Complete This Form?
A. Yes. Under Social Security law, we are responsible for deciding whether this child is disabled, and we
will be making our decision based on all of the medical, school, and other information we receive. Your
observations will help us to have a more complete picture of the child's daily functioning and to make a
fair and accurate decision. Your completion of this form does not constitute an endorsement of our
decision.
Q. The Form is Long. Do I Need to Answer Every Question?
A. Not always. The form uses check boxes and multiple choice questions to help you provide specific
information as easily and quickly as possible, so it is not as long as it may appear. We also organized
the form into sections that cover broad domains of functioning. For each section, there is an option to
check one block indicating that you have not observed any limitations in that domain. When you have
not observed any limitations in a domain, you may check that block and move on to the next section.
We appreciate your cooperation, your time, and your effort in completing the questionnaire.

Sections 202, 223 and 1631(e) of the Social Security Act, as amended, allow 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 the named claimant’s eligibility for benefits.
We will use the information to make a determination of eligibility for benefits. We may also share your
information for the following purposes, called routine uses:
1. To specified business and other community members and Federal, State, and local agencies for
verification of eligibility for benefits under section 1631(e) of the Act; and
2. To Federal, State, or local agencies for administering cash or non-cash income maintenance or
health maintenance programs.
In addition, we may share this information in accordance with the Privacy Act and 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 Notice (SORN) 60-0089,
entitled Claims Folders Systems. Additional information and a full listing of all our SORNs are available on
our website at www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/bluebook.
