TN 1 (09-09)

In adverse reopening determinations in concurrent Title II/Title XVI claims, the due process requirements applicable to Title XVI also apply to the Title II claim. These cases require due process decision notices with benefit continuation language, where applicable, or Goldberg/Kelly language. Benefit continuation, as provided under the Social Security Act (as amended by P.L. 98-460), requires the claimant to request benefit continuation. Goldberg/Kelly provisions automatically continue benefits when the claimant appeals within 10 days.

Prepare notices for

• Title II on blank SSA-L-951-U2 letterhead, and

• Title XVI on SSA-L8052-U2 letterhead.
