OPTION TO ACCEPT AN EARLIER HEARING
WAIVER OF TIMELY WRITTEN NOTICE OF HEARING
I understand that the Social Security Administration (SSA) is required to send me a notice of
hearing at least 75 days before the date set for the hearing. However, if a hearing time
becomes available in less than 75 days, I want an option to accept that earlier hearing time.
I understand that if I accept an earlier hearing time, SSA will tell me the date and time of my
hearing less than 75 days before the date my hearing will be held.
I waive my right to a notice of hearing postmarked at least 75 days before the date of the
hearing. I wish to have the option to accept a hearing time:

□ as soon as possible; or
□ at least 7 calendar days after SSA contacts me.

I must inform SSA about or submit all evidence known to me that relates to whether or not I
am blind or disabled. I must do this at least 5 business days prior to the date of hearing. I
understand that the administrative law judge may not accept evidence that I inform SSA
about or submit less than 5 days prior to the hearing, unless I provide a good reason.
If I am given the option to attend an earlier hearing and decline, I understand that it will not delay the
scheduling of my case, and SSA will send me a notice of hearing at least 75 days before the date of the
hearing. If I accept an earlier hearing time, and do not appear for that hearing, I understand that SSA may
dismiss my request for a hearing.
