TN 1 (07-10)

On January 23, 2010, we made the Internet registration process for representatives unavailable so that we could address problems representatives encountered when using the online application.

Representatives now register using a paper Form SSA-1699 (Registration for Appointed Representative Services and Direct Payment). The Office of Earnings Operations (OEO) in the Office of Central Operations (OCO) receives completed SSA-1699 forms by fax from representatives and field offices, and inputs the data. The dedicated OEO fax number for the SSA-1699 is 1-877-268-3827. Field offices and representatives should fax the forms, one form at a time, to this dedicated fax number. The field office shreds the SSA-1699, after successfully faxing the form to OEO.

NOTE: OEO does not input any forms related to appointed representatives other than Form SSA-1699, nor does OEO handle correspondence from representatives.

To view this form, go to SSA-1699. Members of the public may complete and print the SSA-1699 from a link on our website: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ar/ .
