# §404.1291. Reconsideration—for wages paid prior to 1987.


After the State requests review of the assessment or allowance or disallowance of a credit or refund, and prior to the Commissioner's review, that decision may be reconsidered, and affirmed, modified, or reversed. We notify the State of the reconsidered determination and the basis for it. The State may request the Commissioner to review this reconsidered determination under [§ 404.1294(b)](/cfr/20/404.1294.md?p=b). In limited situations, SSA and the State may agree that the reconsideration process should be waived, e.g., where major policy is at issue.


# §404.1292. How to request review—for wages paid prior to 1987.

- (a) **Form of request.** No particular form of request is required. However, a written request for review must:
  - (1) Identify the assessment, allowance or disallowance being questioned;
  - (2) Describe the specific issue on which the review is requested;
  - (3) Contain any additional information or argument relevant to that issue; and
  - (4) **Be signed by an official authorized to request the review on behalf of the State.**
- (b) **Submitting additional material.** A State has 90 days from the date it requests review to submit additional evidence it wishes considered during the review process. The time limit for submitting additional evidence may be extended upon written request of the State and for good cause shown.

# §404.1293. Time for filing request for review—for wages paid prior to 1987.

- (a) **Time for filing.** The State must file its request for review within 90 days after the date of the notice of assessment, allowance, or disallowance. Usually, the date of the request for review is considered the filing date. Where the 90-day period ends on a weekend, legal holiday or Federal nonworkday, a request filed on the next Federal workday is considered as timely filed.
- (b) **Extension of time.** For good cause shown, and upon written application by a State filed prior to the expiration of the time for filing a request for review, additional time for filing the request may be allowed.
