Does the government have a duty to notify an individual of their eligibility for disability benefits due process notice?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Emergency Disaster Loan Ass'n, Inc. v. Block, 653 F.2d 1267 (9th Cir. 1981):
The implication of appellants' argument is that any law which confers benefits on an individual automatically imposes a due process notice requirement on the government. We reject this argument. The government is not obligated to notify persons of their eligibility for benefits unless required to do so by statute. There was no such requirement in this case. Cf. Denton v. United States, 638 F.2d 1218 (1981).
