A Virginia Magistrate Consent Notice in Social Security Cases is a form that must be completed by an individual who wishes to appeal a Social Security decision. This form is used to give consent to the Virginia Magistrate, who will then take the case to the Social Security Administration (SSA) for review. The Virginia Magistrate Consent Notice must be completed and filed with the Virginia Magistrate in order to initiate the appeals process. There are two types of Virginia Magistrate Consent Notices in Social Security Cases: Form SSA-561-U2 and Form SSA-827. Form SSA-561-U2 is used by individuals who wish to challenge decisions made by the SSA about their Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, or Medicare coverage. Form SSA-827 is used by individuals who have been denied Social Security benefits or SSI payments, and wish to appeal the decision. Both forms require the individual to provide basic information, including their name, address, Social Security number, and contact information. They must also provide a detailed description of the issue, and the relief they are seeking.
