NL 10608.130 What are the Standards for Multiple Page Notices?

The standards for multiple page notices are:

• •

  Do not use first-, second-, or third-line headings on the second and subsequent pages of the notice. These headings are shown only once on the first page of the notice.

• •

  The first page of a notice does not contain a page number. Show page numbers on the second and subsequent pages, right justified, in the upper-right corner, using the format “Page x of x.”

• •

  Center “See Next Page” at the bottom of the first page of multiple-page simplex-printed notices, at least two lines after the last line of text on the page.

• •

  NOTE: There is no page number on the first page of a notice.

• •

  Center “See Other Side” at the bottom of the first page of multiple-page duplex-printed notices, at least two lines after the last line of text on the page).
  NOTE: We do not use “See Other Side” on automated notices.

• •

  Use a name, claim (or case) number, date, or other appropriate data (for example, employer identification number) on the second and all the subsequent pages to identify and visually tie the pages of the notice together.  Left-justify the entry and place it in the upper-left corner on the second and all subsequent pages. If you use two entries, show the second entry on a second line. Left-justify and single-space the second entry directly below the first entry.

• •

  When text under a subordinate heading (subheading, caption) is split between two pages, ensure that at least two lines of text follow the subordinate heading on the page; otherwise, begin the subordinate heading on the next page.

• •

  Avoid breaking sentences between pages.

• •

  Avoid showing the signature and title alone on the last page of the notice.
