Background

Explanation of Content and Changes

This TI replaces TI-5-417, Bailey, et al. v. Bowen, dated May 9, 1986, that provided instructions for implementing the district court's orders of June 5 and December 3, 1985, as amended on July 31, 1985, and March 11, 1986, respectively. Those orders provided for class membership and relief, but they were subsequently vacated in light of the United States Supreme Court's decision in Bowen v. Yuckert, 482 U.S. 137 (1987).
