Requesting a fee for representational services
Your appointed representative can ask for a fee for the services he or she provided in your claim. Not all representatives ask for a
fee, and some only charge a fee if they win your case. To charge you a fee, your representative(s) generally must get our
approval. Your representative can get our approval by submitting a fee agreement (you may use this form) or a fee petition. You
and your representative choose which of these two processes to 1J1Se. Under the fee agreement process, the amount your
representative can ask for is limited by the Social Security Act Under the fee petition process, your representative can ask for a
higher fee. For more infonnation on fees, fee processes, and our rules, visit our website at www.ssa.gov/representation.
Registration
Representatives who seek direct payment of their fee must first register with us. For more infonnation on representative
registration, visit us online at www.ssa.gov/ar, contact us at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). or contact your local Social
Security office.
When t o file a fee agreement
Your representative(s) must file your fee agreement before we issue a favorable decision in your case. If you or your
representative(s) submit the fee agreement after our decision, we will disapprove your fee agreement.
What you have to pay
Under the terms of a fee agreement, you agree to pay an amount up to 25 percent of your total past-due benefits or an amount
set by us. whichever is less. You must pay the fee we authorize. Your spouse, dependents or your auxiliary beneficiaries will also
pay a fee unless they have their own representation. In addition to the fee we authorize, you may also have to pay:
• Fees authorized by a Federal court for services your attorney provided during court proceedings, and
• Any "out-of-pocket• expenses your representative may incur (e.g., costs for making copies of a doctor's or hospital's records).
Note: These fees and expenses do not require our authorization.
Two-tiered fee agreements
You and your representative(s) should complete this field only if you want to limit the effect of this fee agreement to a certain
administrative level. If you choose this option and your case is appealed beyond the specified administrative level, your
representative(s) can file a fee petition. Under the fee petition process, the authorized fee may be higher than the amount
that can be authorized under the fee agreement process.
Trust or escrow accounts
Your representative may accept money from you before we authorize a fee as long as he or she holds it in a trust or escrow
account according to our rules and policy. If you choose to enter into the trust or escrow agreement with your representative,
you may willingly deposit the money in the trust or escrow account and tell us on this form. Only complete this field if your
representative is using an escrow or trust account.
Third-party payments
We collect infonnation on payments your representative may receive from a third party for services he or she provided to you
during the administrative proceedings. These fees may be in lieu of your fee payment, or may be in addition to your payment.
We may consider these payments during our authorization process to detennine if we need to authorize these fees under our
rules. All statutory and regulatory rules continue to apply in situations involving third-party payments.

Withholding of funds and direct payment t o your representative

usually withhold 25 percent of your past-due benefits for direct payment of that fee. However, you are responsible for paying
your representative the authorized fee if:
• the amount of the fee we approve is more than the amount held for you in a trust or escrow account, or more than the amount
we can pay to your representative from your past-due benefits,

Fee Agreement for Representation Before the Social Security Administration

Created Jun 10, 2021 3:12 PM

From: Social S�curity Administration

General Information

(no-reply@)ssa.gov)

You can use this online form to file electronically an agreement between you and your representative(s) to seek our
authorization of the fee your representative(s) may charge you for services your representative(s) provides before us. Section
206 of the Social Security Act limits the fee we authorize under a fee agreement to 25 percent of your past-due benefits or a
maximum dollar amount we set, whichever is less. As of 11/30/22, the maximum fee amount is $7,200. This form does not limit
you and your representative(s) from agreeing to any
additional terms unrelated to the fee. Requesting, receiving, or keeping a fee in excess of the legal limit or in excess of what
we authorize is unlawful and may lead to sanctions for your representative(s). Unless they have their own representation, your
dependents, spouse, or auxiliary beneficiaries will also be liable for a fee under this fee agreement if we approve benefits for
them. Unlike the paper version, this online form limits the total number of representatives who sign it to six.
