We are revising the procedures for how claimants who receive fully favorable revised determinations based on prehearing case reviews or fully favorable attorney advisor decisions may seek further review. We are also revising our procedure to provide that we will notify claimants who receive partially favorable determinations based on prehearing case reviews that an administrative law judge (ALJ) will still hold a hearing unless all parties to the hearing tell us in writing that we should dismiss the hearing request. These changes will simplify our administrative review process and free up scarce administrative resources that we can better use to reduce the hearings-level case backlog.
我们正在修订相关程序，规定那些基于听证前案件审查获得完全有利的修订决定或获得完全有利的律师顾问决定的申请人如何寻求进一步审查。我们还在修订程序，规定对于那些基于听证前案件审查获得部分有利决定的申请人，我们将通知他们，除非听证会的所有当事人书面告知我们应驳回听证请求，否则行政法法官（ALJ）仍将举行听证会。这些变化将简化我们的行政审查程序，并腾出稀缺的行政资源，以便我们能更好地利用这些资源来减少听证层面的案件积压。
