Representation:
You can choose to have a representative help you when you do business
with Social Security. We will work with your representative, just as we
would work with you. For more information about your right to representation,
view our publication,
Your Right to Representation.
If you are acting as someone's authorized representative
to do business with the Social Security Administration, you must first complete
Form SSA-1696-U4 (Appointment of Representative). To obtain a copy of this
form, as well as a comprehensive explanation of the 'Representative' process,

Representing Claimants.
