Nice stuff, but beware the 1696, which is the old version.
Not surprising. Creating fillable forms in Acrobat is a very dull, labor intensive, and time consuming process (trust me, I've literally spent hundreds of hours doing it over the years). Keeping them up to date is also a similar pain, because you have to basically manually redo the fillable form with each new revision of the form released.
FYI, the next version of Acrobat (version 8, coming in November) FINALLY has a feature to enable form authors to allow saving of data from fillable forms completed in Acrobat Reader 8 (well, the feature actually previously existed, but Adobe had charged a large chunk of change to enable it).
The only catch is that the Reader save feature must be enabled from Acrobat 8 Professional (meaning you have to have load the fillable form into Acrobat Professional to enable the form data to be saved from Reader -- once you do this, anyone with Reader can save the form data).
By the way, our Forms and Charts area has its own, and hopefully correct, fillable 1696 form. _________________ David Traver

The website http://www.legisit.com/downloads.asp has updated the version of the SSA-1696, and it is now the current version. I haven't compared their version to the one prepared by Ed Johnson (which is a separate link in David's Forms and Charts menu) to see which is easier to use.

The one posted at www.legisit.com is only the first page of the current 1696 form, whereas David's form has all the pages (both fronts and backs) due to the fact that I created it from the "official" SSA form located at SSA Online.
If you want to be really technical, the form posted at Legisit is actually the first page extracted from the form David has (which is fine by me -- I created the form to be used by anyone as they see fit).
Are the missing pages important? Well, SSA won't refuse to accept the form even with the missing pages. And given that eDIB and the electronic folder have pretty much been expanded nationally at this point (I think that Nebraska and possibly only one or two other remaining states are left before everyone has it), there really isn't a reason to waste the paper submitting more than one copy of the form to SSA these days anyway.
