General Information About This Form
Revocation of a Representative’s Appointment
You may use this form to end (revoke) an appointed representative’s authority at any time during the processing of your claim.
You must sign and date your revocation and file it with us either in-person at your local field office, mail it, or fax it to us. You
should also tell your representative. Once you revoke the appointment, we will no longer deal with the named representative. If
you have no other representatives, you may continue with your claim unrepresented or appoint a new representative. If the
individual you revoke is your principal representative, you must give the name of your new principal representative. The revocation
will take effect on the date we receive the signed document.
This form is optional. Complete it only when applicable, either in-person at your local field office, mail it, or fax it to us. You should
also tell your representative.
This information collection meets the clearance requirements of 44 U.S.C. §3507, as amended by Section 2 of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. You do not need to answer these questions unless we display a valid Office of Management
and Budget control number. We estimate that it will take about 30 minutes to read the instructions, gather the facts, and answer
the questions. You may send us your comments on our estimated completion time to SSA, 6401 Security Blvd., Baltimore, MD
21235-6401. Send only comments relating to our time estimate to this address, not the completed form.
