Social security appeal dismissed; new administrative decision replaces final court judgment without court retrial.

The Supreme Court dismissed the appellants' appeal against a lower court's rejection of their request for a retrial. The appellants argued that new evidence and a specific Supreme Court precedent justified reopening the case, which had concluded with a final judgment. The court rejected these claims, noting that the statutory provision allows the social security agency to issue a new decision updating the status without requiring a judicial retrial, and the appeal was also procedurally time-barred.
