When to Request DAS Verification

Form 71 no longer in use as of 09/2013, please use SSA Form 831.

Request the results of a disability determination from DAS when no prima facie evidence exists for any of the applicable months prior to an approved SSI application.

DAS usually determines the disability onset date, including months prior to an approved SSI application. If available, check SDX on approved SSI recipients to verify the disability onset date. If the verified disability onset date covers the prior months, this onset date is prima facie evidence of disability and no SMEU decision is required. If current SDX information is not available, send a Form 71 to DAS for any months prior to an approved SSI application and only use SMEU procedures in situations where DAS indicates that they did not establish disability for those months. DAS does not complete disability determinations for months prior to denied applications. Use SMEU procedures for these situations.
