Social Security Notifies Clark Class Members

 

The Social Security Administration (SSA) reports that in December it sent informational notices to 30,704 of the approximately 140,000 members of the plaintiff class in Clark v. Astrue.  All of those who have received notices so far were Social Security (OASDI) beneficiaries.  According to SSA's timetable the remaining Social Security beneficiaries and all the SSI class members should receive informational notices before the end of March.  

 
Reinstatement and payment of retroactive benefits should be occurring shortly for those Social Security beneficiaries whose claims can be processed on an automated basis.  Remedial relief for SSI recipients must be processed manually and will take place gradually between April, 2013 and March, 2014.

IMPORTANT: It is important that class members notify SSA of their current mailing address and bank account information if SSA does not already have this information.  For Social Security beneficiaries, the best way to do this is on the SSA website at www.ssa.gov.
