Description

In 2018 Social Security reconsidered its use of Reconsideration Review and expanded its application to 10 states that have not had this level of review for 20 years.  This session will give an overview of the state of reconsideration across the country, what advocates need to know during the transition, and consideration for issues and opportunities created by it.  We will offer perspectives from a non-prototype state who has always had reconsideration, as well as from a prototype state that recently restored reconsideration level review.
