Non-medical appeal requests submitted through iAppeals Non-Medical do not propagate
to the Modernized Supplemental Security Income Claims System (MSSICS) appeal screens.
Therefore, technicians must manually key information from these appeal requests into
the MSSICS appeal screens and process the appeal requests and evidence, if any, per
the instructions in SI 04020.030 - request for reconsideration or SI 04030.020 - request for hearing. For post entitlement cases, process Goldberg Kelly Payment
Continuation as appropriate. For GK payment continuation see SI 02301.310.
