# §614.22. Correcting Federal findings.

- (a) **Request for correction.**
  - (1) If an individual believes that a finding specified in [§ 614.21](/cfr/20/614.21.md) is incorrect or that information as to any finding has been omitted from a military document, the individual may request the issuing Federal military agency to correct the military document. A request for correction may be made through the State agency, which shall forward such request and any supporting information submitted by the individual to the Federal military agency.
  - (2) The Federal military agency shall promptly forward to the individual or State agency making the request the corrected military document. Information contained in a corrected military document issued pursuant to such a request shall constitute the findings of the Federal military agency under [§ 614.21](/cfr/20/614.21.md).
  - (3) If a determination or redetermination based on a finding as to which correction is sought has been issued by a State agency before a request for correction under this paragraph is made, the individual who requested such correction shall file a request for redetermination or appeal from such determination or redetermination with the State agency, and shall inform the State agency of the request for correction.
  - (4) An individual who files a request for correction of findings under this paragraph shall promptly notify the State agency of the action of the Federal military agency on such request.
- (b) **State agency procedure when request made.**
  - (1) If a determination of entitlement has not been made when an individual notifies a State agency of a request for correction under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, the State agency may postpone such determination until the individual has notified the State agency of the action of the Federal military agency on the request.
  - (2) If a determination of entitlement has been made when an individual notifies a State agency that a request for correction of Federal findings has been made, or if an individual notifies a State agency prior to a determination of entitlement that a request has been made but such determination is not postponed by the State agency, the individual may file a request for redetermination or appeal in accordance with the applicable State law.
  - (3) Except as provided in [paragraph (c)](#c) of this section, no redetermination shall be made or hearing scheduled on an appeal until the individual has notified the State agency of the action of the Federal military agency on a request for correction under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section.
- (c) **State agency procedure when request answered.** On receipt of notice of the action of a Federal military agency on a request for correction of its findings, a State agency shall:
  - (1) Make a timely determination or redetermination of the individual's entitlement, or
  - (2) **Promptly schedule a hearing on the individual's appeal.**
- (d) **Findings corrected without request.** Information as to any finding specified in [§ 614.21](/cfr/20/614.21.md) contained in a corrected military document issued by a Federal military agency on its own motion shall constitute the findings of such agency under [§ 614.21](/cfr/20/614.21.md), if notice thereof is received by a State agency before the period for redetermination or appeal has expired under the State law. On timely receipt of such notice a State agency shall take appropriate action under the applicable State law to give effect to the corrected findings.
