IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Purpose of Form
An attorney or other person who wishes to charge or collect a fee for providing services in connection with a
claim before the Social Security Administration (SSA) must first obtain approval from SSA. The request for
appointment is generally made using the SSA-1696-U4, Appointment of Representative, or equivalent written
statement. An attorney or other person who wishes to receive direct payment of authorized fees from SSA
must have completed an SSA-1699, Request for Appointed Representative's Direct Payment Information, in
order to provide the identifying information that will be used to process these direct payments, including the
possible use of direct deposit to a financial institution, and to meet any requirements for issuance of a Form
1099-MISC. It is important to complete a new SSA-1699 whenever there are changes to identifying
information. In addition, an attorney or other person must complete this SSA-1695, Identifying Information for
Possible Direct Payment of Authorized Fees, for each claim in which a request is being made to receive direct
payment of authorized fees.

Instructions for Completing the Form
Claimant Information - Please provide the Social Security Number (SSN) and name of the claimant that you
will represent before SSA.
Wage Earner Information - If the claim is being filed on the Social Security record of someone other than the
claimant, please provide the SSN and name of that wage earner.
Type of Benefits Information - Please specify the type of benefits for which you are representing the
claimant(s). Representative Information - Please enter your SSN and name as shown on your Social
Security card and your mailing address. If you have changed your last name (e.g., due to marriage), please
contact your local SSA office to make this change to your Social Security record. In addition, if you are
representing the claimant(s) as a partner or employee of a firm or other business entity, you may provide the
EIN of that entity. This will allow SSA to issue a Form 1099-MISC to that entity to reflect that the direct
payment of authorized fees you receive is actually income to that entity for tax purposes.
Information About Other Claimants - If you are representing other claimants in this claim that are not
mentioned above, please provide their SSNs and names. If there are more than five individuals, please
provide this information on a separate attachment to this form.

Your response is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the information could result in
