Are you looking for a specific Social Security form? Social Security has a page where you can find it.

You can search for a form or browse by category:

• Prepare for Your Interview
• Benefits Claims Supporting Forms
• Medicare Prescription Drug Help Forms
• Other Forms
• Forms for Other Agencies
• Forms You Can Complete and Submit Online

Listed below are the most frequently used appeal forms:

• SSA-61 Request for Review By a Federal Reviewing Official
• SSA-561-U2 Request for Reconsideration
• HA-501-U5 Request for Hearing by Administrative Law Judge
• HA-520 Request for Review of Decision/Order of ALJ

Please note that certain appeals require more than just the correct form. For example: an initial denial on a claim for disability benefits normally requires a Request for Hearing, Disability Report-Appeal, and an Authorization to Disclose Information. Check your Social Security notice, contact your local Social Security office or speak to an attorney to determine the appeal requirements in your case.

Here are some more useful forms:

• SSA-1696 Appointment of Representative
• SSA-11 Request to be Selected as Payee
• SS-5665-BK Teacher Questionnaire
• SSA-3441-BK Disability Report-Appeal
• SSA-827 Authorization to Disclose Information to the Social Security Administration
