SSA-1696-SUP1 PDF Form & Guide

Quick answer

What is SSA-1696-SUP1 used for?

This form records an appointment, withdrawal, registration, fee agreement, or fee request for representation before SSA. It is separate from the claimant’s underlying benefit application or appeal.

Use the form for the exact transaction in its title. Follow any accompanying SSA letter because it may contain a return address, barcode, deadline, or case-specific instruction.

For SSA-1696-SUP1, the transaction named by the government is “Claimant's Revocation of the Appointment of a Representative.” Use that title to distinguish this PDF from forms that collect related facts but produce a different agency action.

Questions specific to “Claimant's Revocation of the Appointment of a Representative”

Evidence review

Gather claimant and representative identifiers, the matters covered, appointment history, entity and tax details when relevant, and any fee agreement, itemization, or payment evidence requested.

Before you sign

Make the scope and signatures consistent across related representative forms. Appointment, direct-payment registration, fee authorization, withdrawal, and claimant revocation are distinct actions.

A reliable way to complete SSA-1696-SUP1

Map the source records

Define the reporting period before collecting numbers or events. Write its start and end dates at the top of your worksheet, and exclude facts outside that window unless the form asks for background. For recurring amounts, preserve both the pay or transaction date and the period covered; those dates can answer different questions in benefit administration.

Review fields and branches

Treat checkboxes and negative answers as substantive statements. Confirm that “none,” “no,” and “not applicable” have different meanings in context, and follow the form’s directions for unused fields. If the PDF does not provide enough room, identify the related item on an additional page rather than compressing an answer until it becomes ambiguous.

Package and track the filing

Make a submission copy that includes the signed PDF, every attachment, and the instructions or notice used to select the destination. Record the delivery method, address or upload route, date, and confirmation number. Store that copy unchanged; annotate a separate duplicate if you need notes for a phone call or follow-up.
