Form SSA-789-U4. Request for Reconsideration - Disability Cessation

Form SSA-789-U4, the Request for Reconsideration - Disability Cessation, is used to request a reconsideration of a decision to cease disability benefits. The primary purpose is to provide a mechanism for claimants to request a review of the decision to stop their disability benefits.

An example scenario is when a claimant's disability benefits are terminated, and they disagree with the decision. They can use this form to request a reconsideration. The benefit is that it allows claimants to challenge cessation decisions and potentially have their benefits reinstated.

The parties involved include the claimant and the SSA. The form typically includes sections for explaining the reasons for the request and providing supporting information or evidence to support the request for reconsideration.
