If a periodic check of the recording equipment during the hearing reveals omissions or inaudible testimony or questioning, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) must:
summarize the missing testimony or questioning;
verify the summary's correctness and accuracy with the claimant or representative; and
read the summary into the record.
If omissions or inaudible testimony or questioning are discovered after the hearing but before the decision is issued, the ALJ must:
summarize the missing testimony or questioning;
send the summary to the representative or the claimant, allowing a reasonable time for comment; and
review the representative's or claimant's response, modify the summary as necessary, and admit the summary into evidence as an exhibit.
