SSA-1696-SUP2 PDF Form & Guide

Quick answer

What is SSA-1696-SUP2 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-SUP2, the transaction named by the government is “Representative's Withdrawal of Acceptance of Appointment.” Use that title to distinguish this PDF from forms that collect related facts but produce a different agency action.

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.

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-SUP2

Map the source records

Turn every attachment into a referenced exhibit for your own review, even when formal exhibit labels are not required. Use a short description and date, then note which form answer it supports. The finished package should let a reviewer move from an answer to its evidence without guessing why an unrelated document was included.

Review fields and branches

If an answer is estimated, say so in the manner the form permits and document how you reached it. Choose a reasonable source such as a calendar, statement, or employer record, not an unsupported guess. When an exact value later becomes available, determine whether the agency requires an update rather than silently changing your retained copy.

Package and track the filing

Protect original evidence. Submit originals only when the official instructions require them, and first retain a legible copy and inventory. For certified records, confirm what the agency accepts. Do not staple, crop, redact, or alter a document in a way that removes seals, page relationships, explanatory notes, or identifying context.
