Notice

(Do not use this form for objecting to a recommended decision.)
(Either mail the signed original form to the Appeals Council at the address shown below, or take or mail the
signed original to your local Social Security office, the Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office in
Manila, or any U.S. Foreign Service Post and keep a copy for your records.)
1. Claimant Name

2. Claimant SSN

3. Claim Number (If different than SSN)

4. I request that the Appeals Council review the Judge's action on the above claim because:
Please grant me an extension of time to submit evidence or argument.

ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
You may submit any additional evidence or argument to the Appeals Council. If you have additional evidence that relates to the
period on or before the date of the hearing decision, you must inform the Appeals Council about it or submit it, or any other
evidence or argument, when you submit this form unless you request an extension of time by checking the box above. This will
ensure that the Appeals Council has the opportunity to consider the additional evidence before taking its action. If you have a
representative, then they must help you obtain the evidence. In limited circumstances, the Appeals Council may request the
additional evidence related to the relevant period. If you submit neither evidence nor a legal argument now or within any
extension of time the Appeals Council grants, the Appeals Council will take its action based on the evidence currently in your file.
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. 5 and your representative (if any) should complete No. 6. If you are
represented and your representative is not available to complete this form, you should also print their name, address, etc. in
section number 6.
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.

collect this information. We will use the information you provide to complete our claims process.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the information may
prevent the continued processing of your claim.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than to complete our claims process. 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

programs is 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.
