Developing SSI/SSDI Applications for Individuals with Long COVID

This resource is a supplement to the Medical Summary Report (MSR) Interview Guide and Template and a tool for case development. It provides guidance for working with individuals who are experiencing symptoms of Long COVID and includes sample questions that may be helpful in your interviews. While Long COVID is not a condition specified in SSA’s Listing of Impairments, SSA has issued instructions to its employees about how an allegation or diagnosis of COVID-19 should be evaluated when determining disability.
