Abstract: When a claimant dies before we make a determination on that person's request for reconsideration of their disability cessation, SSA seeks a qualified substitute party to pursue the appeal. If SSA locates a qualified substitute party, the agency will use Form SSA-770 to collect information from that party about whether to pursue or withdraw the reconsideration request/appeals process. The respondents are substitute applicants who are pursuing a reconsideration request for a deceased claimant.
