4. I request that the Appeals Council review the Administrative Law Judge's action on the above claim because:

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE

If you have additional evidence submit it with this request for review. If you need additional time to submit evidence or legal argument, you must request an extension of time
in writing. This will ensure that the Appeals Council has the opportunity to consider the additional evidence before taking its action. If you request an extension of time, you
should explain the reason(s) you are unable to submit the evidence or legal argument now. If you neither submit evidence or legal argument now nor within any extension of
time the Appeals Council grants, the Appeals Council will take its action based on the evidence of record.
IMPORTANT: WRITE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ON ANY LETTER OR MATERIAL YOU SEND US. IF YOU RECEIVED A BARCODE FROM US, THE
BARCODE SHOULD ACCOMPANY THIS DOCUMENT AND ANY OTHER MATERIAL YOU SUBMIT TO US.

SIGNATURE BLOCKS: You should complete No. 6 and your representative (if any) should complete No. 7. If you are represented and your
representative is not available to complete this form, you should also print his or her name, address, etc. in No. 7.

I declare under penalty of perjury that I have examined all the information on this form, and on any accompanying statements or
forms, and it is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

PAPERWORK/PRIVACY ACT NOTICE
The Social Security Act (sections 205(a), 702, 1631(e)(1)(a) and (b), and 1869(b)
(1) and (c), and Public Law 106-169 (Section 809(a)(1) of Sections 251(a)) as
appropriate) authorizes the collection of information on this form. We need the
information to continue processing your claim. You do not have to give it, but if
you do not you may not receive benefits under the Social Security Act. We may
give out the information on this form without your written consent if we need to
get more information to decide if you are eligible for benefits or if a Federal law
requires us to do so. Specifically, we may provide information to another Federal,
State, or local government agency which is deciding your eligibility for a
government benefit or program; to the President or a Congressman inquiring on
your behalf; to an independent party who needs statistical information for a

administered by the Social Security Administration. We explain, in the Federal
Register, these and other reasons why we may use or give out information about
you. If you would like more information, get in touch with any Social Security
office, the Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office in Manila, or any U.S.
Foreign Service post.
We may also use the information you give us when we match records by
computer. Matching programs compare our records with those of other Federal,
State, or local government agencies. Many agencies may use matching programs
to find or prove that a person qualifies for benefits paid by the Federal
government. The law allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it.
Explanations about these and other reasons why information about you may be
used or given out are available in Social Security offices. If you want to learn more
about this, contact any Social Security office, the Department of Veterans Affairs
Regional Office in Manila, or any U.S. Foreign Service post.
