(Federal Reporter, Second Series)
Baker v. Richardson
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiffs-appellants, Social Security claimants, contend that the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare violated procedural due process in suspending benefit payments without prior adequate notice and without an evidentiary hearing. We vacate the judgment of the district court and remand the case for reconsideration in light of Richardson v. Wright, 1972, 405 U.S. 208, 92 S.Ct. 788, 31 L.Ed.2d 151, Doyle v. Richardson, 5 Cir. 1972, 458 F.2d 987, and the Department’s new procedures for dealing with overpayments, as set forth in the amended Social Security Administration’s Claims Manual.
Vacated and remanded.
