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, Registration for Appointed
Representative Services and Direct Payment, 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.
