If the Office of the Inspector General or Cooperative Disability
Investigations Unit evidence includes a surveillance video, a written
description or still photographs from the video may be associated
with the record. If the claimant requests a copy of the video, the
hearing office will attempt to obtain a copy of the video from the
appropriate investigative unit using the contact information in
Program Operations Manual System GN 04124.010.
When an administrative law judge (ALJ) proposes to enter a
surveillance video into the record as an exhibit, the claimant has
a right to view the video at the hearing, even if the claimant previously
viewed or declined to view the video. The video may be accepted
into evidence without viewing at the hearing if the ALJ and all
parties agree during the hearing. For instructions on exhibiting
a video associated with an electronic folder, see the hearing office Standard Hearings Operations Procedure sections 3.2 (Case Work Up, the CEF Exhibiting Desk Guide).
