Provide written notices containing full appeal rights for all initial determinations.
The office that makes the final determination is responsible for all required notices.
EXCEPTION: If SSA has already made an initial determination (e.g., awarding a claim that included
wage determinations):
-
a.
a notice need not be issued if a subsequent action (e.g., a subsequent correction
via ICOR) must be taken to follow through on the initial determination previously
made; unless
-
b.
the beneficiary's status changes and they need to be informed of the subsequent action
(no reconsideration/appeals paragraph is needed in this case).
