Generally, reconsideration is the first step in the administrative review process. The Office of Disability Policy will address the necessary changes in the Handbook for the new disability service improvement process.
To make a request for reconsideration, you (or another party) must show in writing that your rights may be adversely affected by the initial determination.
You must file a request for reconsideration in writing within 60 days after the date notice of the initial determination is received (see §2001 and §2015).
In Title II cases, reconsideration is a case review.
In Title XVI cases, reconsideration is a case review, an informal conference, a formal conference, or a disability hearing. See Section 2005.5 and Chapter 2192 for more information.
