The field office (FO) might not be able to determine that the claimant committed a
felony. However, the history in the medical evidence might show the circumstances
under which an impairment arose or was aggravated. The DDS must be alert to this and
identify any claims not identified by the FO.
If the DDS identifies a prisoner case, and the FO did not annotate “Item 5” of the
SSA-3367-F5 (Disability Report - Field Office), request FO assistance to determine
whether the claimant committed a felony.
The required information includes the following:
-
•
date felony was committed;
-
•
date of conviction, if applicable;
-
•
date(s) of incarceration for the felony conviction;
-
•
name of confinement facility; and
-
•
release date, if applicable.
