  • Reason For The Unfavorable Decision
  • You are not eligible to have your claim reviewed under the Goodnight court case because:
  •      
  • * Your claim was not denied by the Utah DDS during the period January 1, 1991, through February 20, 1994.
  •      
  • * Your claim was denied for a non-medical reason.
  •      
  • * The Form SSA-831-U3/C3 was not signed by either Manya Atiya, M.D. or Rebecca Dalisay, M.D.
  •      
  • * You appealed the denial of your Goodnight claim to an Administrative Law Judge, the Appeals Council or to court.
  •      
  • * You received a subsequent award of benefits with respect to the same period of time at issue in your Goodnight claim.
  •      
  • * You received a disability determination after February 20, 1994, that covered the same time period as your Goodnight claim.
  •      
  • * Your disability claim file contains a Psychiatric Review Technique Form (PRTF), SSA-4734-F4 SUP and Mental Residual Functional Capacity (MRFC) Form, SSA-2506-BK each completed in its entirety by a Utah DDS psychiatrist or psychologist employed by the Utah DDS during the period January 1, 1991 - February 20, 1994.

  • We Are Not Deciding If You Are Disabled
  • It is important for you to know that we are not making a decision about whether you are disabled. We are deciding only that you are not entitled to a review of your claim under the Goodnight court case. If you do not agree with this decision, you have 60 days after receiving this notice to notify class counsel, at the address listed above, that you want to protest this decision and explain your reason(s) why.
  • If You Think You Are Disabled Now
  • If you are not currently receiving disability payments and you think you are disabled now, you may file a new application. A new application is not the same as asking us to review your claim under Goodnight . In the new application you may not be able to receive disability benefits for the period of time you asked for in your prior claim. If you decide to file a new application, contact any Social Security office.
  • If You Have Any Questions
  • If you have any questions, you may contact the class attorney at the address above or your local Social Security office. The Social Security address and telephone number are printed at the top of this letter. You may also call us toll free at 1-800-772-1213 if you have any questions. If you call or visit a Social Security office, please have this letter with you. It will help us answer your questions.
