Form SSA-773-U4. Waiver Of Right To Appear - Disability Hearing

Form SSA-773-U4, the Waiver of Right To Appear - Disability Hearing, is used to waive the right to appear at a disability hearing. The main purpose is to allow claimants to voluntarily choose not to appear at a hearing and to make a decision based on their submitted evidence.

An example scenario is when a claimant prefers not to attend their disability hearing and wishes to waive their right to appear. The benefit is that it provides claimants with the option to proceed without attending the hearing.

The parties involved are claimants scheduled for disability hearings and the SSA. This form typically includes sections for indicating the decision to waive the right to appear, providing reasons for the waiver, and submitting supporting documents or evidence.
