Local Rule 9.2: SERVICE

9.2 SERVICE. In cases arising under 42 U.S.C. §405(g) or 42 U.S.C. §1383(c)(3), the plaintiff will file a Complaint with the Clerk, along with a Social Security Identification Form containing the full name and complete Social Security number of the plaintiff, including that of a minor plaintiff not otherwise identified by his or her full name. If the plaintiff's application for Social Security benefits was filed on another person's wage-record, that person's full name and Social Security number shall also be provided. The identifying information is necessary for the Commissioner to obtain and produce the certified administrative record. The Social Security Identification Form will be lodged in CM/ECF as a restricted document and sent via Notice of Electronic Filing to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Georgia and Regional Counsel for the Social Security Administration through the CM/ECF system. After the Administrative Record is filed, the Clerk shall remove the Social Security Identification Form from the docket. Service will be considered complete when CM/ECF generates electronic service of the Complaint and Social Security Identification Form on the U.S. Atttorney's Office and Regional Counsel for the Social Security Administration. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Georgia and the Regional Counsel for the Social Security Administration agree not to raise insufficient service as a defense if service of those documents is made electronically through CM/ECF. The agreement not to raise insufficient service as a defense is intended to more efficiently move the processing of Social Security disability cases through the litigation life cycle. Nothing in Local Rule 9.2 will be deemed a waiver of service under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d). Local Rule 9.2 does not apply to any other complaints or claims besides Social Security disability claims against the Commissioner of Social Security in his or her official capacity under 42 U.S.C. §405(g) or 42 U.S.C. § 1383(c)(3).
