Memo On Streamlined Folder Assembly

CONNECT has obtained and posted a copy of Social Security's memo concerning "streamlined" folder assembly for hearing offices. While the memo "authorizes" this streamlined mode and encourages Administrative Law Judges to cooperate, it does not make this mandatory. There will be hearing offices and individual ALJs who refuse to accept this.

I do not understand why Social Security does not just release this sort of thing to begin with. It is not a secret. It is going to leak out quickly anyway. Just post it on the website for everyone to read.
