I-3-0-7.Office of Appellate Operations Geographic Assignments
Last Update: 6/12/15 (Transmittal I-3-116)
The chart below explains the jurisdictional breakdown of judicial circuits within the Office of Appellate Operations (OAO). The numerical breakdown under “Circuit Jurisdiction” depends on the last two digits of an individual's Social Security number.
The chart is organized by workload and includes the jurisdictional breakdown for:
Disability Processing Branches (DPB) (process disability claims),
Retirement and Survivors Insurance/Supplemental Security Income ((RSI/SSI) Branch (processes non-disability claims),
Court Case Preparation and Review Branches (CCPRB) (process civil actions), and
Division of Quality Branches (DQB) (process Appeals Council own motion reviews).
While members of the public may use the fax numbers below to submit additional evidence to the Appeals Council, they should NOT use these numbers to submit a Request for Review to the Appeals Council. Rather, they should submit a Request for Review using the instructions in the Appointed Representative Guide to Requesting Appeals Council Review.
If members of the public have any questions, they may direct telephone inquiries to the OAO Claimant and Public Assistance Branch at (877) 670-2722 or (703) 605-8000. Alternatively, they may fax (833) 964-2259. Additionally, they may submit written inquiries to OAO at the following address:
