FIRST APPEAL: This request is made by completing the SSA-561-U2, Request for Reconsideration. If you are uncertain whether this is the appropriate request to file, the letter you received explains our determination and contains a paragraph specifically mentioning your right to file a request for reconsideration. OVERPAYMENT: If you have been overpaid, and do not agree with the fact or the amount of the overpayment, you should complete the SSA-561-U2, Request for Reconsideration. If you feel you are overpaid but you should not have to pay back the overpayment you should complete a form SSA-632-BK, Request for Waiver of Recovery of an Overpayment. If you both disagree with the fact you are overpaid (or the amount) and feel, if it is determined you are overpaid, you should not have to refund the overpayment, you can file both requests, SSA-561-U2 and SSA-632-BK. EVIDENCE: You should present any evidence you have that shows the original determination was incorrect. In the case of a denied claim for a disability benefit you must complete and sign additional forms. These forms are the SSA-3441-F6 , Reconsideration Disability Report, and SSA-827 , Authorization to Disclose Information to SSA. Complete and sign form, fold in thirds, insert it in a standard size number 10 business envelope (4 1/8 x 9 1/2) and mail to your closest Social Security office. |
