Abstract

This Policy and Practice Brief will explain when SSA’s decisions become final and are no longer subject to appeal. The Brief will discuss how to overcome SSA’s doctrine of administrative finality. Additionally, the Brief will explain the doctrines of reopenings and re judicata, how each works and how each may be overcome to ensure that claimants and recipients are not harmed by these doctrines.
