Background

In September 2003, a complete revision and updated Division 4 of HALLEX was issued. Under the Explanation of Content and Changes, section I-4-4 ff., we indicated: “This is a new chapter that outlines the procedures for handling ALJ decisions after court remand. Essentially, these sections duplicate the material currently contained in sections I-3-1-80 through I-3-1-92. We plan to eliminate the Division 3 instructions at a future date.”

Explanation of Content and Changes

This transmittal deletes sections I-3-1-80 through I-3-1-91 (as the material concerning ALJ decisions after court remands ends at I-3-1-91), as well as the relevant exhibits at I-3-1-102 through I-3-1-106. All the deleted material is contained in I-4-4-1 through I-4-4-50 and I-4-4-99 through I-4-4-105.
