GN 03905.005 Representation Referral List Model Notice

A. When to use

We maintain a representational referral list for each field office and hearing office service area. We provide this list to all claimants who receive an adverse determination or decision during the administrative review process. The information we provide to claimants is neutral and the organizations use their own criteria to determine whether the claimant qualifies for any free services. For more information, see GN 03910.030.
