We must file a Form 1099-MISC with the Internal Revenue Services when we pay $600
or more per year to an appointed representative for representative services. When
the representative informs us of his or her association with a business entity as
an employee or partner, we use Form SSA-1694 to obtain the name, address, and employer
identification number of the business entity. We must enter the information from the
SSA-1694 into the Registration, Appointment and Services for Representatives (RASR)
system. For more information on the form and the registration process see GN 03913.050.
