Simply put, in our opinion, the SSA Function Report is by far the most crucial SSA form in the entire claims process. The average American has absolutely no idea how to properly complete this form nor do they have any idea what the Agency and DDS is getting at with all their questions. But rest assured, these questions are calculated, scrutinized and constantly updated. Like other SSA forms, Attorneys and non-attorney representatives don’t pay nearly enough attention to Function Report form. And like other SSA forms, if you don’t pay enough attention to this, the DDS, and the Administrative Law Judges will almost certainly use your entries on this form against you.
First of all, there is nothing that you state on this form in response to any question, that’s going to awaken them to the fact that you’re in pain or have other limitations. They are not going to read your Function Report and come to the conclusion that the case should be approved. On the contrary, they are looking for responses that are going to be contradictory and inconsistent with someone who is limited by the limitations you stated on your application. We’re not kidding.

If you’re situation is like most of our clients, you’ll get this form in the mail and there’s possibly a Work History Report tagging along with it. Oh and of course, it wouldn’t be a US Government form without a Paperwork Reduction Act notice. The letter from the Examiner will indicate that you have 10 days to return the Function Report. When you see the date stamped on the Examiner’s letter, you’ll realize it has already been about nine days, and you might start to panic. No need to. You can simply call them and tell them you just received it and they’ll give you a mulligan, and an extension.

They will most likely send you an additional document that we call a DDS barcode. This barcode is a sheet that you can place at the top of the Function Report and fax it back to them. When you fax it, it will go directly into your SSA electronic record. That cover sheet doesn’t help you much if you don’t have access to a fax. We do.
If you call the DDS Examiner and actually get he or she on the phone, you can try to ask them for help with the form. We don’t think you’ll get too far. They too, can’t be bothered in trying to go through that entire form with you. Since they don’t have the time, you just may get the bum’s rush from them on the telephone. And unfortunately, many Attorneys tell their clients to do the best they can and really don’t give the time of day that is necessary on this particular form. Not us! We specifically set aside whatever time is needed to stress the importance of this form, going over each and every response with you. If you’ve received a Function Report, and you’re not sure what to do, you are certainly free to give us a call. If you’re not represented, we’ll be happy to speak with you.
