What is Form SSA-827?

Form SSA-827 is the Authorization to Disclose Information to the Social Security Administration (SSA), the consent form that allows SSA and the state Disability Determination Services to collect the records they need to evaluate a disability claim. By signing it, you authorize all of your medical sources (hospitals, clinics, doctors, mental health and substance-abuse providers, VA facilities), along with schools, social workers, employers, and others who know about your condition, to release records to SSA. The form names whose records are involved (name, SSN, date of birth), describes what may be disclosed, lists from whom and to whom, states the purpose, and notes that the authorization is good for 12 months from the date you sign. It ends with the individual's signature, address, and phone, plus a witness signature. The current edition is Form SSA-827 (06-2024) UF, OMB 0960-0623. With JustFill, the AI detects each field on the PDF, so you can type or dictate your details, handle scanned copies, and finish without Adobe Acrobat.

Download the Form SSA-827 form PDF — free

The official Form SSA-827 PDF is free to download from the Social Security Administration at ssa.gov/forms. JustFill opens that same PDF in your browser so you can fill it and download a completed copy with no Adobe Acrobat required.

Who fills out Form SSA-827?

  • An adult applying for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or SSI who must authorize record release.
  • A parent or guardian completing the form on behalf of a minor child applying for benefits.
  • An appointed representative payee or personal representative signing for a claimant who cannot sign.
  • A disability attorney or advocate preparing the authorization as part of a claimant's application packet.
  • A witness who knows the claimant, signing to confirm the identity of the person authorizing disclosure.

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of Form SSA-827 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Whose records (name)

Full name (first, middle, last) of the person whose records are being disclosed.

SSN and date of birth

The claimant's Social Security number and birth date used to identify the right records.

Of what / what is disclosed

Pre-printed scope covering medical records, mental health, substance abuse, and education records related to your ability to perform tasks.

From whom

The sources authorized to release records: medical, educational, employers, counselors, and others who know your condition.

To whom and purpose

States that information goes to SSA and the state agency processing your case, to determine eligibility for benefits.

Expires when

Notes the authorization is valid for 12 months from the date signed.

Individual signature

The claimant's signature, date signed, street address, city, state, ZIP, and phone number.

Witness signature

Signature and phone or address of someone who knows the claimant or is satisfied as to their identity.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Using an X mark or unsigned form without a witness signature, which SSA requires when the claimant signs with a mark.
  • 2Leaving the date signed blank, since the 12-month validity period is measured from that date.
  • 3Signing on behalf of someone else without checking the box and explaining the basis for authority (parent, guardian, or representative).

Form SSA-827 example — what a filled-out form looks like

A fictional adult SSDI claimant in Columbus completes and signs Form SSA-827 in front of a witness so Social Security and the Ohio Division of Disability Determination can request medical records from his treating hospital and physicians. All names and numbers are fictional.

Top Identification Box — Whose Records to Disclose

Name (First, Middle, Last, Suffix): Robert Alan Sample · SSN: •••-••-6471 · Birthday (mm/dd/yyyy): 07/19/1972

This header box must match the claimant's Social Security record so hospitals and clinics can locate the patient's chart.

Individual Authorizing Disclosure — Signature & Date

Signed in ink by Robert Alan Sample · Date Signed: 10/22/2026 · Authority box left unchecked (claimant signing on his own behalf)

The authorization expires 12 months from the date signed, so leaving the date blank invalidates the release.

Claimant Street Address & Telephone

Street Address: 615 Sample High St, Apt 2A, Columbus, OH 43215 · Phone Number (with area code): (614) 555-0194

Provides the claimant's current contact details below the signature line.

Witness Signature & Contact Information

I know the person signing this form or am satisfied of this person's identity: Signed by Witness Linda M. Sample · Phone/Address: (614) 555-0198, Columbus, OH

Form SSA-827 includes a witness attestation block confirming the identity of the person signing the release.

These values are made up. They are here to show what belongs on each line, not to be copied — every name, number, and address on your own Form SSA-827 has to be your own.
