If a delay is found to be unreasonable, a new date of affirmative action in writing
may be established by:
-
•
Documenting telephone calls; or
-
•
Sending written requests for information; or
-
•
Documenting in writing some other effort to obtain the facts necessary to revise the
prior determination.
If, however, the new affirmative action date occurs after the time limit to reopen
the determination or decision has passed, it cannot be reopened and revised.
EXCEPTION: Certain cases involving interface run dates
may require different handling if revision is not made within 6-months
of the run date. Apply instructions in SI 04070.040I. in these cases.
