A few weeks ago Social Security stunned many of its own employees with a notice that it would accept appeals filed orally.

Social Security has now filed a new notice to be published tomorrow that will rescind the right to file appeals orally. Here is the item from the Office of Federal Register:
Social security benefits and supplemental security income:
Determination or decisions; administrative review requests; additional options; withdrawn, E6-15055
