Background

As a result of reorganizations, several SSA and OHA components either no longer exist or have changed names.

Explanation of Content and Changes

This transmittal updates and revises Chapter I-1-5 (Litigation-Related Inquiries).

Chapter I-1-5 is revised to delete references to several OHA Headquarters components, the Division of Litigation Analysis and Implementation (DLAI) and the Office of Civil Actions (OCA) because these components no longer exist and the Division of Congressional Relations (DCR) is now the Division of Congressional and Public Inquiries (DCPI). In addition, the Litigation Staff in the Office of the Deputy Commissioner for Programs no longer exists.

Sections I-1-5-6 (Office of Civil Actions Processing) and I-1- 5-7 (DLAI Actions) are removed.

Sections I-1-5-8 (Reporting Requirements) and the exhibits in I-1-5-90 and I-1-5-91 are eliminated because OHA no longer prepares a quarterly report of litigation-related inquiries.
