We will use the information provided in readjudication requests received from persons claiming that the application of an acquiescence ruling (AR) would change a prior determination or decision to determine whether they are entitled to readjudication of their claims in accordance with these regulations. We will review the available information in the requests to determine whether the issue(s) stated in the AR pertains to the claimant's case. If readjudication is appropriate, we will consider only those issue(s) covered by the AR. Any new determination or decision will be subject to administrative or judicial review in accordance with our regulations. Individuals who request readjudication are claimants for Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income payments.
