If you have additional evidence that relates to the period on or before the date of the hearing decision, you must inform the
Appeals Council about it or submit it. If you have a representative, then your representative must help you obtain the evidence
unless the evidence falls under an exception. You may also submit any other additional evidence to the Appeals Council. If you
need additional time to submit evidence or legal argument, you must request an extension of time in writing now. This will ensure
that the Appeals Council has the opportunity to consider the additional evidence before taking its action. If you submit neither
evidence nor legal argument now or within any extension of time the Appeals Council grants, the Appeals Council will take its
action based on the evidence currently in your file.
IMPORTANT: WRITE YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ON ANY LETTER OR MATERIAL YOU SEND US. IF YOU
RECEIVED A BARCODE FROM US, THE BARCODE SHOULD ACCOMPANY THIS DOCUMENT AND ANY OTHER
MATERIAL YOU SUBMIT TO US.
SIGNATURE BLOCKS: You should complete No. 5 and your representative (if any) should complete No. 6. If you are
represented and your representative is not available to complete this form, you should also print their name, address, etc. in No.

I declare under penalty of perjury that I have examined all the information on this form, and on any accompanying
statements or forms, and it is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
