Question: If a determination is mailed to a 48 year old claimant on August 15, 2011 terminating Social Security disability benefits on the basis of medical improvement and that determination is received by the claimant in due course, what is the last day upon which he or she may appeal
and be granted interim benefits, assuming no good cause for a late request?
- August 25, 2011
- August 30, 2011
- September 19, 2011

Answer: August 30, 2011 There is a 10 day limit from the date of receipt of the notice which is presumed to be 5 days after it is sent.
I have looked at this again and am not sure that the answer is correct. It is unquestionably right for SSI (Title XVI) -- no question. Does T. II have the same 10 day rule (plus 5 for mailing)???
ReplyDeleteThe rule is the same for both title II and title XVI. See Program Operations Manual System (POMS) DI 12027.001A and DI 12027.008A.
