Emergency Message On New Claims While Appeal Pending Does Not Help

Social Security has issued a new Emergency Message (EM) on the new Ruling which seeks to prevent a claimant from filing a new claim while an old claim is pending on appeal. The EM does not expand upon the Ruling in any meaningful way. It does not even address the question of what to do about cases where a new claim and an appeal are both already pending.

  2. the message says you cannot file NEW claims when there is a pending claim.

    There is NO change to already filed claims. There is NOTHING in the SSR or any SSA notice to indicate that there is any change intended to already filed claims.
