REQUEST TO WITHDRAW A HEARING REQUEST
IMPORTANT NOTICE - This is a request to withdraw your hearing request. The
Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) will consider this request and decide if dismissing your
hearing request is appropriate. If we deny your request, the hearing process will go on as if
you had not filed this form. If we approve this request, the hearing process will stop. We will
send you a dismissal notice and we will not process your case. The last determination in
your case will stay in effect. If you change your mind, you must ask the ALJ to cancel this
request to withdraw within 60 days after you get the dismissal notice. You must give a good
reason why the dismissal was wrong. You may also file an appeal with the Appeals Council
(AC) within 60 days after you get the dismissal notice. Even if you do not ask the ALJ to
cancel your request, and do not file an appeal, the AC may set aside the dismissal of your
hearing request. This would occur within 60 days after we mail the dismissal notice to you.

TYPE OF CLAIM(S)
I wish to withdraw my hearing request. My request is voluntary. I understand the effects of this request. Namely, an ALJ may dismiss
my hearing request. If the ALJ does, the last determination in my case will stay in effect, unless the dismissal is set aside. This may
result in the potential loss of benefits. I understand that I have 60 days from when I get the dismissal notice to cancel my request or file
an appeal with the Appeals Council. My decision affects no other potential parties to my knowledge. I understand that all items relating
to my claim will be part of SSA’s records.

Give reason for withdrawal. (If you need more space, use the reverse of this form.)

Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Sections 205 and 1631(d)(1) of the Social Security Act, as amended, allow us to collect this information. We will use the
information you provide to decide if dismissing your hearing request is appropriate.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the information may not allow
us to make a correct determination regarding your request to withdraw your hearing request.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than to decide if dismissing your hearing is appropriate.
However, we may use the information for the administration of our programs including sharing information:
1. To comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from our records (e.g., to the Government
Accountability Office and Department of Veterans Affairs); and,
2. To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigative activities necessary to assure the integrity and
improvement of our programs (e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and to private entities under contract with us).
A complete list of when we may share your information with others, called routine uses, is available in our Privacy Act
System of Records Notices 60-0005, entitled, Administrative Law Judge Working File on Claimant Cases and 60-0009,
entitled, Hearings and Appeals Case Control System. Additional information about these and other system of records
notices and our programs are available from our Internet website at www.socialsecurity.gov or at your local Social
Security office.
We may share the information you provide to other health agencies through computer matching programs. Matching
programs compare our records with records kept by other Federal, State, or local government agencies. We use the
information from these programs to establish or verify a person's eligibility for federally funded or administered benefit
programs and for repayment of incorrect payments or delinquent debts under these programs.

Paperwork Reduction Act Statement - This information collection meets the requirements of 44 U.S.C. § 3507, as
amended by section 2 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You do not need to answer these questions unless we
display a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. We estimate that it will take about 10 minutes to
read the instructions, gather the facts, and answer the questions. Send only comments relating to our time estimate
above to: SSA, 6401 Security Blvd, Baltimore, MD 21235-6401.
