Title: Amendments to Procedures for Certain Determinations and Decisions (3472F) 
Abstract: We will revise the procedures for how claimants who request hearings before administrative law judges (ALJs) may seek further review of their fully favorable revised determinations based on prehearing case reviews or fully favorable attorney advisor decisions. We will notify claimants who receive partially favorable determinations based on prehearing case reviews that an ALJ will still hold a hearing unless all parties to the hearing tell us in writing that we should dismiss the hearing requests. These changes will simplify the process and free up scarce administrative resources that we can better use to reduce the hearings level case backlog.
