Notify the claimant orally or in writing that an additional review is necessary. (See NL 00705.145 for language for notice paragraphs.)

If the claim had been processed under deferred development, obtain an SSA-8000-BK (Application for SSI). Exception: If a claim in N18 denial status (Failure to Cooperate) is being reversed solely due to the submission of signed SSA-827’s, deferred development may be continued unless a nondisability issue not previously addressed could preclude eligibility. For a reopening that can be processed on MSSICS, choose DENIED CLAIM REOPENING from the SSI Menu (MSSI) and complete the full path. (See SI 00603.004C. for further instructions for processing the switch from deferred to simultaneous development.)

Review all nondisability issues not addressed in the appellate determination/ decision or reopening and develop them appropriately. Resolve questionable issues that could preclude eligibility before sending the disability folder to the DDS.

Obtain the disability forms or review and update any disability forms previously obtained and send the disability folder to the DDS with the SSA-831-C3/U3 (Disability Determination and Transmittal) or the Title XVI Disability Transmittal (if being processed on MSSICS) annotated “Manual Notice Necessary - Please Provide Appropriate Disability Paragraphs.”

If the disability is allowed and if required by SI 00603.031, conduct a preeffectuation review contact (PERC). (See SI 00603.030 for the definition of a PERC.)

When the disability decision/determination is received from either the DDS or the administrative law judge (ALJ), suppress the systems-generated notice and issue a manual notice.
