If the review component receives notice of a request for reconsideration or a hearing
while a case is undergoing QR, they associate the appeals notice with the file and
hand carry the folder through all review operations.
If the case contains a deficiency that requires adjudicating component corrective
action, the review component will prepare an SSA-1774-U5 and request that the adjudicating
component take the necessary corrective action.
If the case contains a deficiency that requires adjudicating component corrective
action, and the appeal request was not filed in the FO, the review component:
-
-
•
prepares a photocopied file;
-
•
sends the original case file with a copy of the SSA-1774-U5 to the FO; and
-
•
sends the SSA-1774-U5 and photocopied file to the adjudicating component.
Refer to GN 04440.250D. and GN 04440.250E. for a further explanation of review component action in this situation.
