Social Security Forms for Retirement, Dependent & Survivors

When filing a disability claim on the Social Security Account of a worker who is receiving Social Security disability or retirement benefits or on the account of a worker who has died, the base form that is used is the same as the application form for a non-disabled dependent or survivor. For disabled widows, widowers, and surviving divorced spouses, the form is the SSA-10. For disabled adult children (who became disabled before age twenty-two) the application for Childhood Disability Benefits is the SSA-4-BK.

Both these application forms, the SSA-10 and the SSA-4-BK, need to be supported with the same medical and vocational statements and authorization to gather information as a disabled worker’s application. These forms can be found in the Disability Benefits Forms section of this website. You will also find other applications and reporting forms for Social Security claimants who are not disabled.
