If you are dissatisfied with the initial determination, reconsideration is the first step in the administrative review process that we provide, except that we provide the opportunity for a hearing before an administrative law judge as the first step for those situations described in Secs. 404.930 (a)(6) and (a)(7), where you appeal an initial determination denying your request for waiver of adjustment or recovery of an overpayment (see Sec. 404.506). If you are dissatisfied with our reconsidered determination, you may request a hearing before an administrative law judge. [61 FR 56132, Oct. 31, 1996]
