GN 03940.060 Fee Agreement Manual Notices
Introduction
SSA has automated most of the fee agreement notice process; however, some notices
remain manual actions. The fee agreement paragraphs and notices that are not systems
generated include:
-
•
Title II “neutral language” paragraphs SSA uses when deferring authorization of a
fee (see GN 03940.075).
-
•
Title II paragraphs SSA uses when a delayed auxiliary claim(s) is involved (see GN 03940.080).
-
•
Title XVI notices when SSA is authorizing fees to multiple representatives.
-
•
Title XVI notices when a representative who is eligible for direct payment waives
a fee.
-
•
Title XVI notices when the authorized fee is manually calculated. It is necessary
to manually calculate the fee to authorize in posteligibility cases and when including
an eligible spouse’s past-due benefits in the husband or wife’s past-due benefits
for representative fee purposes.
