Social Security has released an emergency message with updated instructions on informal remands, also known as "re-recon." These are cases where a disability benefits claimant has been denied at the reconsideration stage, files a request for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, but has his or her case sent back for a new review at the reconsideration level while awaiting a hearing. A not insignificant percent of these cases are approved on re-recon.
I heard him say in his State of the Union address that Social Security would not be affected.
