HA 01380.011 Administrative
Appeals Judge's Actions
Renumbered from HALLEX section I-3-8-11
Upon receipt of the analyst's recommendation, the Administrative
Appeals Judge (AAJ) will review the proposed action and may:
•
return the case to
the analyst for further analysis, revision, or preparation of a
different action; or
•
approve the recommendation, sign the grant review
notice, and forward the case to the “B” AAJ for consideration.
If both AAJs agree with the analyst's recommendation, each
will sign the notice. The Appeals Council's support staff will date
and release the grant review notice. They will then return the case to
the Office of Appellate Operations (OAO) branch. The OAO branch
staff will place the case in diary to await a response from the
claimant or representative.
