(For Reporting Purposes: 09/25/2021 through 09/30/2022) (53 Weeks) *

* For FY 2022, each of the individual reports have a listing for the normal 52 week fiscal year and a second listing to include the extra 53rd week. Most fiscal years have just 52 weeks, however, some fiscal years have 53 weeks.

These quarterly reports show the number of receipts, dispositions and pending New Court Cases (NCCs) and Court Remands (CRs) during the defined period. The data shown is by month with quarterly and fiscal year (FY) summaries through the most recently completed quarter.

New Court Cases (NCCs) are the result of new civil lawsuit filings by claimants seeking Social Security or Supplemental Security Income benefits after denial through the Appeals Council level. In response to these civil suit filings, the Appeals Council (AC) in the Office of Analytics, Review, and Oversight (OARO) prepares an administrative record including a copy of the claims folder and provides that to the court of jurisdiction. Receipts are incoming cases. Dispositions of NCCs by the AC include preparation of certified records of the cases for filing with the court, AC requests for remand to the ALJ for further action, and other actions. Pending is the number of NCCs awaiting final action at the end of each month, quarter or fiscal year period.

Court Remands (CRs) are claims for benefits returned to the Social Security Administration (SSA) by the courts after court review for further administrative action by SSA. Receipts are incoming CRs. Dispositions of CRs by the AC include remands to the ALJ for further action, decisions by the AC or other actions. Pending is the number of CRs awaiting final action at the end of each month, quarter or fiscal year period.
