Background
After reevaluating current instructions on mailing and emailing copies of Section
218 agreements and modifications, and in efforts to streamline the business process
for efficiency, we updated the policy and procedure. These changes reduce the unnecessary
mailing and storage of duplicate paper documents in multiple offices within Social
Security, saving time and costs.
Summary of Changes
SL 40001.420 Modifications to the Original Agreement
Subsection E, we are removing instructions for the Regional Offices to send a photocopy
of the Section 218 modifications to the original agreement notification approval letter,
the executed modification, and copy of the OGC's Opinions to the Office of Income
Security Programs. Specifically we are removing step 2, second bullet, step 3, and
the NOTE.
