Renumbered from HALLEX section I-2-8-50

When the claim(s) file is paper, the compact disc (CD) of each hearing recording must remain with the claim(s) file.

HO staff will ensure the CD(s) is clearly labeled with the following information:

• •

  claimant's name;

• •

  wage earner's or beneficiary's name;

• •

  Social Security number;

• •

  date of the hearing;

• •

  CD number of the total number of CDs (e.g., 1 of 1; or 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3); and

• •

  HO code.
