## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Social Security & Veterans' Entitlements](https://ailawframework.com/practice/social-security-and-veterans-entitlements.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Sort the facts the client gives under the four good-cause headings in 20 C.F.R. § 404.911. Leave the conclusion blank, and write no request. |
| What the lawyer must review | 20 C.F.R. § 404.911: in deciding whether good cause is shown for missing a deadline to request review, the Administration considers what circumstances kept the person from making the request on time, whether its action misled the person, whether the person did not understand the requirements of the Act resulting from amendments to the Act, other legislation or court decisions, and whether any physical, mental, educational or linguistic limitation, including any lack of facility with the English language, prevented a timely request or prevented the person from understanding or knowing about the need to file one. Examples are in subsection (b). You read them. You decide whether to ask, and you write the request. This section is in the Title II rules. Open the supplemental-security-income rule if that is the benefit. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Sort the facts the client gives under the four good-cause headings in 20 C.F.R. § 404.911. Leave the conclusion blank, and write no request.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The four headings are the regulation. The examples in subsection (b) still have to be read.
- This is a Title II section. Supplemental security income has its own rule, which you open if that is the benefit.
