AURORA paragraph 417 – reason for termination
This notice concerns your continuing eligibility for benefits. We cannot continue
to pay you benefits based on participation in a vocational rehabilitation, employment,
training, or educational program. This is because
[1] you stopped participating in your program in {mm/yy}
Or [2] your program ended in {mm/yy}.
Or [3] continued participation in your program will no longer make it more likely that you
will be able to work if your health worsens. Therefore, (mm/yy) is the last month
benefits are payable.
AURORA paragraph ALS020:
If you disagree with this decision, you have the right to appeal. We will review your

will decide your case. We will correct any mistakes. We will review those parts of
the decision which you believe are wrong and will look at any new facts you have.
We may also review those parts which you believe are correct and may make them unfavorable
or less favorable to you.

If You Want Help With Your Appeal
AURORA paragraph REP001:
You can have a friend, lawyer or someone else help you. There are groups that can
help you find a lawyer or give you free legal services if you qualify. There are also
lawyers who do not charge unless you win your appeal. Your local Social Security office
has a list of groups that can help you with your appeal.
If you get someone to help you, you should let us know. If you hire someone, we must
approve the fee before they can collect it. And if you hire a lawyer, we will withhold
up to 25 percent of any past due benefits to pay toward the fee.
