disabling, these claimants may ask SSA
to reconsider that determination. SSA
uses Form SSA–789–U4 to arrange for a
hearing or to prepare a decision based
on the evidence of record. Specifically,
claimants or their representatives use
Form SSA–789–U4 to: (1) Ask SSA to
reconsider a determination; (2) indicate
if they wish to appear at a disability
hearing; (3) submit any additional

reconsidered determination; and (4)

(1) they are fleeing to avoid prosecution
for a crime; (2) they are fleeing to avoid
custody or confinement after conviction
of a crime; or (3) they are violating a

and recipients, who are reporting their
status as a fugitive felon or probation/
parole violator.

Penalty by Installment Agreement—20
CFR 498—0960–0776. When SSA
imposes a civil monetary penalty (CMP)
on individuals for various fraudulent
conduct related to SSA-administrated
programs, those individuals may request
to pay the CMP through benefit
withholding, or an installment
agreement. To negotiate a monthly
payment amount, fair to both the
individual and the agency, SSA needs
financial information from the
individual. The agency uses Form SSA–
640 to obtain the information necessary
to determine a monthly installment
repayment rate for individuals owing a
CMP. The respondents are recipients of
Social Security benefits and nonentitled individuals who must repay a
CMP to the agency and choose to do so
using an installment plan.
