Appendix to opinion of the Court

42 U. S. C. § 405(g) provides:

“(g) Judicial review

“Any individual, after any ﬁnal decision of the Com-
missioner of Social Security made after a hearing to
which he was a party, irrespective of the amount in
controversy, may obtain a review of such decision by a
civil action commenced within sixty days after the mail-

Commissioner of Social Security, with or without re-

Commissioner of Social Security as to any fact, if sup-

who was a party to the hearing before the Commissioner
of Social Security, because of failure of the claimant or
such individual to submit proof in conformity with any
regulation prescribed under subsection (a) of this sec-
