- How AI is used
- Draft the request from the points the lawyer has settled. Leave the date of receipt and the office blank, to be taken from the notice.
- What the lawyer must review
- 20 C.F.R. § 404.909: the Administration will reconsider an initial determination if a party files a written request within 60 days after the date the person receives notice of the initial determination, or within any extended time under paragraph (b). You read paragraph (b). Good cause for a late request is § 404.911, which you apply yourself. You check every sentence before the request is sent. This is a Title II rule. Open the supplemental-security-income rule if that is the benefit. Formal Opinion 512: you remain responsible for the request.
