    When an individual is departing from his/her role as an authorized representative and/or when an individual has been appointed to become an authorized representative of the direct owner, the current authorized representative must submit a Change of Authorized Representative Application as soon as possible before the change occurs. The new authorized representative is not required to complete Proof of Eligibility.
