What about my right to representation?

You can have a representative, such as an attorney, help you when you do business with Social Security.  SSA will work with your representative, just as they would with you.

For your protection, your representative cannot charge or collect a fee from you without first getting written approval for SSA.  However, your representative may accept money from you in advance as long as it is held in a trust or escrow account.

Both you and your representative are responsible for providing SSA with accurate information.  It is illegal to furnish false information knowingly and willfully.  If you do, you may face criminal prosecution.  That is why you need to complete your paperwork TRUTHFULLY for your attorney to submit.
