The Program Operations Manual System (POMS) on Policy Net maintains Title II and title
XVI legal precedent opinions in two separate parts. Title II legal precedent opinions
are in POMS Part 15 (PR), and Title XVI legal precedent opinions are in POMS Part
16 (PS).
Legal precedent opinions are accessible to the field offices (FO), processing centers
(PC), Regional offices (RO), Office of Hearings Operations (OHO), and CO (including
OGC). POMS Parts 15 and 16 on SSA Pubs on Policy Net are the ONLY approved
sources for legal precedent opinions.
