Abstract: Form SSA-789 is used by claimants to request reconsideration of a determination and to indicate whether or not they wish to appear at a disability hearing. This form can also be used to submit any additional information/evidence for use in the reconsidered determination and to indicate if an interpreter is needed for the hearing. SSA will use this information to either arrange for a hearing or to prepare a decision based on the evidence of record. The respondents are applicants for Social Security benefits or SSI payments.

Previously SSA had estimated that some cases would take longer for the public to respond than others, however, we have reevaluated this estimate to average the time it will take for all the respondents to complete this form.
