Form SSA-1560 (10-2017)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THIS PETITION
Any appointed representative who wants to charge and collect a fee for services in connection with a claim before the
Social Security Administration (SSA) is required by law to first obtain SSA's authorization of the fee. The only exceptions
are:
(1) when a third party entity (i.e. a business, firm, or government agency) will pay the fee and any expenses from its own
funds and the claimant and any auxiliary beneficiaries incur no liability, directly or indirectly;
(2) when a court has awarded a fee for services provided in connection with proceedings before SSA to a legal guardian,
committee, or similar court-appointed office; or
(3) when representational services were provided before a court. A representative who has provided services in a claim
before both SSA and a court of law may seek a fee from either or both, but neither has the authority to set a fee for the
other [42 U.S.C. 406(a) and (b)].
It is important to fill in all of the applicable boxes on the SSA-1560-U4, including the claimant's social security number
and the Representative Identification Number (Rep ID). SSA issues a Rep ID if the representative has registered with
SSA. For more information on representative registration visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ar, call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY
1-800-325-0778) or contact a local Social Security office.
When to File a Fee Petition
The representative should request a fee using this form only after completing all services on a claim(s). The representative
has the option to either petition before or after SSA makes the determination(s). In order to obtain direct payment of all or
part of an authorized fee from withheld Title II and/or Title XVI past-due benefits, the representative who is eligible for direct
payment should file the petition, or a written notice of the intent to petition, within 60 days of the date of the favorable
determination or decision notice.
Where to File the Petition
Once the representative has provided the claimant with copies of the SSA-1560-U4 petition and each attachment (20CFR
§§404.1725 and 416.1525), the representative may then file the documents, with the appropriate SSA office, as noted
below. If the claimant has not received a copy from the representative, SSA will provide it and allow time for comments.
• If a court or the Appeals Council issued the case decision, send the petition to the Office of Analystics, Review, and
Oversight: Attorney Fee Branch, 5107 Leesburg Pike, Suite 601, Falls Chuch VA 22041-3255.
• If an Administrative Law Judge issued the case decision, send the petition to him or her using the hearing office
address listed in the decision.
• In all other cases, send the petition to the reviewing office address, which appears at the top right of the notice of
award or notice of disapproved claim
Questions or Disagreements with the Fee Petition
If the claimant has questions or disagrees with the fee requested or any information shown, he or she should contact SSA
within 20 days from the date of this request. The claimant may call or visit the local Social Security office or write to the
office that took the last action in the case.
The claimant may also file questions or disagreements about fee petition decision at the same locations.
Evaluation of a Petition for a Fee
SSA determines a reasonable fee for the services provided on a claim, considering the purpose of the Social Security
program and/or Supplemental Security Income program and
(1) the extent and type of services the representative performed;
(2) the complexity of the case;
(3) the level of skill and competence required of the representative in giving the services;
(4) the amount of time the representative spent on the case;
(5) results the representative achieved;
(6) the levels of review to which the representative took the claim and at which level he or she became the representative;
and
(7) the amount of fee requested for services provided, including any amount authorized or requested before but excluding
any amount of expenses incurred
SSA also considers the amount of benefits payable, if any, but authorizes the fee amount based on consideration of all
the factors listed above. The amount of benefits payable in a claim is determined by specific rules unrelated to the
representative's efforts. In addition, the amount of past-due benefits may depend on the length of time that has elapsed
since the claimant's effective date of entitlement.
Administrative Review
If the claimant or the representative disagrees with the amount SSA authorized, he or she must send a request in writing,
explaining the reason(s) for disagreement. The request should be sent to the SSA office address shown on the
"Authorization to Charge and Collect a Fee" or to any SSA office within 30 days on the date of the notice.
Collection of the Fee
The claimant is liable for any fee authorized. However, SSA will pay all or part of the authorized fee directly to a
representative eligible to receive direct payment, if the determination or decision results in past-due Title II or Title XVI
benefits. In these cases, SSA generally withholds up to 25 percent of the past-due benefits. This statement does not
mean that SSA will authorize as a reasonable fee 25 percent of the past-due benefits. If the representative is
eligible to receive direct payment of the authorized fee from the past-due benefits, SSA will pay the smallest of the
following directly to the representative from the claimant's withheld funds:
For the Claimant’s Protection
Until the claimant receives notice that SSA has authorized a fee, he or she should not pay the representative unless the
payment is held in an escrow or trust account. If the claimant is charged or pays any money after he or she receives a
copy of this petition but before he or she receives notice from SSA of the authorized fee amount the representative may
charge, he or she must report this fact to SSA immediately.
Penalty for Charging or Collecting an Unauthorized Fee
Any individual who charges, demands, receives, or collects a fee in excess amount authorized for services provided before
SSA may be subject to administrative sanctions or criminal prosecution, or both. If convicted, the individual will be punished
for each offense by a fine not exceeding $500, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.
What Happens Next
Once SSA determines a reasonable fee for the representative's work on the claim or pending matter, SSA will send both
the representative and the claimant a written notice showing the authorized fee amount the representative may charge.
Form SSA-1560 (10-2017)
• 25 percent of the total past-due benefits payable to the claimant and any auxiliaries as a result of the claim; or
• The fee amount authorized
If the authorized fee is more than the amount of the withheld benefits, collection of the difference is a matter between
the representative and the claimant. SSA will not pay a fee from withheld past-due benefits when the authorized fee is
for a representative whom the claimant discharged or who withdrew from the case.
The amount payable to the representative from the withheld benefits is subject to the assessment required by Sections
206(d) and 1631(d)(2)(C) of the Social Security Act, and it is also subject to offset by any fee payment(s) the
representative has received or expects to receive from an escrow or trust account.

decisional deliberative documents, such as analyses and recommendations prepared for the decision-maker.
In addition, we may share this information in accordance with the Privacy Act and other Federal laws. For example, where
authorized, we may use and disclose this information in computer matching programs, in which our records are compared
with other records to establish or verify a person's eligibility for Federal benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect or
