Where a class action is transferred to OHA (e.g., because a current claim is found
to be pending there), and the claimant knows where his or her class action claim is,
the claimant must be notified of the transfer using the appropriate language. For
example:
“We are sending the (disability/Supplemental Security Income/Social Security disability
and Supplemental Security Income) claim(s) you filed on ( date of original filing) to the (name of hearing office). We are doing this because you asked us to review your disability under the ( name of class action ) class action court case.
The review may cover the same period and issues involved in the claim you recently
filed. That claim is pending in the (name of hearing office).
The Hearing Office may process your claims at the same time. They will contact you.”
