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.
ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE
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 his or her name, address,
etc. in No. 6.
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.

Please grant me an extension of time to submit evidence or argument.
Sections 205(a), 702, 1631(e), and 1869(b) and (c) of the Social Security Act, as amended, authorize
us to collect this information. We will use the information you provide to complete our claims process.
Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide us with all or part of the
information may prevent the continued processing of your claim.
We rarely use the information you supply for any purpose other than to complete our claims process.
However, we may use the information for the administration of our programs including sharing
information:
1. To comply with Federal laws requiring the release of information from our records (e.g., to the
Government Accountability Office and Department of Veterans Affairs); and,
2. To facilitate statistical research, audit, or investigative activities necessary to assure the integrity
and improvement of our programs (e.g., to the Bureau of the Census and to private entities
under contract with us).
A complete list of when we may share your information with others, called routine uses, is available in
our Privacy Act System of Records Notices 60-0005, entitled Administrative Law Judge Working Files
and 60-0089, entitled Claims Folder. Additional information about these and other system of records
notices and our programs is available from our Internet website at or at your
local Social Security office.
We may share the information you provide to other health agencies through computer matching
programs. Matching programs compare our records with records kept by other Federal, State, or local
government agencies. We use the information from these programs to establish or verify a person's
eligibility for federally funded or administered benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect
payments or delinquent debts under these programs.
