After a disability claim is filed Social Security is likely to send the claimant several different forms to complete. Most people will receive both a function report and a work history report. The function report will ask the claimant about daily activities and what limitations they might have in completing those activities due to their impairments. The work history report will ask the claimant about past work, typically Social Security would like to know about the most recent 15 years of work and the work history report will ask about job duties and responsibilities. Not to be confused with the work history report is the work activity report. This report is sent to some claimants who may have some work earnings that may not be explained well enough through Social Security records and need more clarification. Below is an example of the kind of information Social Security is seeking with the work activity report.
