Welcome

To comply with the Internal Revenue Code (§§ 6041(a) and 6045(f)) and the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, as codified at 31 U.S.C. §§ 3325 and 7701, we are requiring appointed representatives to provide taxpayer identification information as a prerequisite for receiving direct fee payment. As a service, we are providing representatives with the means to receive payments via direct deposit deposit in Title II claims at the present time. A process to allow representatives to receive direct deposit of fees in Title XVI claims, including the Title XVI portion of concurrent claims, is not available at this time.

Beginning in January 2009, we will mail a Form 1099-MISC to each representative who received, by direct payment from the Social Security Administration, aggregate fees of $600 or more in the previous calendar year.

For faster and more accurate registration, a representative should complete the SSA-1699 form and submit it electronically. Please be aware that some training seminars have an error in their documentation; a representative does not have to register his or her firm as part of the individual registration. Any message about the firm not being registered yet is entirely informational for the representative who is in the process of completing his or her individual registration.

If you are a representative who is associated with a law firm, partnership, corporation, or multi-member LLC/LLP (LLC – Limited Liability Company, LLP – Limited Liability Partnership) that has attorneys and/or non-attorney representatives as partners or employees, that entity also may provide us with its taxpayer identification information using the Form SSA-1694, Request for Business Entity Taxpayer Information.

Note: SSA does not make direct fee payment to business entities.
