You don't just want to throw the kitchen sink at the ALJ because oftentimes that can backfire.

So generally speaking, the ALJ will get the record from anything you filed down below.

And actually at the reconsideration level, that's the last time you can submit documentation or

unless there's good cause.

So typically, the ALJ records either rely upon what has already been submitted, if there's really nothing new, and then there's just legal arguments.

But if you need a full-blown

real full submission, more fulsome submission to the ALJ, again, not submitting the patient records again, then it would be organized as if you'd be organizing and literally filing a brief with the citations, the exhibits, everything attached, not just references.

If there's something new that came up on reconsideration, the reconsideration decision that wasn't addressed before, obviously this is the opportunity to put it out there.

Um, and also, um, when you should make sure that if you are going to have experts, whether it's clinical experts, statistical experts, or others that you have all your ducks in a row set up with those experts before you get to the point that the ALJ hearing is scheduled in two weeks and, you know, schedules don't line up.

So the organization is going to depend on, um,

how much of a legal arguments need to be made.

And that's really going to depend on what type of appeal is being filed.

Do you have a favorite ALJ story?

I have two, actually.

So I'm going to go with two.

So the first ALJ story, which is a positive one, is my client and I were on the phone because the ALJ hearings are all done by phone.

And we're waiting for the judge to come and the judge doesn't come.

And we can't hang up because you have to stay for the allotted time.

And about 25 minutes in, the judge gets on the phone and says, oh, you're here.

And we said, you know, yes, your honor.
