Form SSA-789 is used by claimants to
request reconsideration of a determination and to indicate whether
or not they wish to appear at a disability hearing. This form can
also be used to submit any additional information/evidence for use
in the reconsidered determination and to indicate if an interpreter
is needed for the hearing. SSA will use this information to either
arrange for a hearing or to prepare a decision based on the
evidence of record. The respondents are applicants for Social
Security benefits or SSI payments.

Procedure and Certification for Payments
The slight increase in the
annual reporting burden from 10,045 to 10,617 is due to an increase
in the number of minutes SSA estimates as the response time.
Previously SSA had estimated that some cases would take longer for
the public to respond than others, however, we have reevaluated
this estimate to average the time it will take for all the
respondents to complete this form.
