NOTE: In claims at the initial or reconsideration level, SSA usually will not have notified
the claimant and representative of the CR's determination on the fee agreement. Therefore,
the notice does not have to “reverse” the prior determination. However, if SSA already
issued a notice (e.g., MCS DOFA award), use language in the notice stating SSA is
no longer approving the fee agreement because it does not meet the requirements of
the Act or is otherwise excepted. At present, this action requires special dictated
language.
