Which AO classification is used for minor corrections?

Which AO classification is used for minor corrections?

• A. New - initial new rating
• B. Amendment - correct MINOR things
• C. Revoke - used when original AO is void and not valid (incorrect SSN)
• D. Expired

Answer: (B)

When you need to fix a small mistake on an existing Administrative Order, you use an amendment. An amendment updates the original document to correct minor details—things like a misspelled name, a wrong date, or a minor digit error—without creating a new order or invalidating the original. It keeps the AO’s original purpose and authority intact while making the necessary, modest corrections. A brand-new order would be used only when a separate document is needed to establish new terms or a new authority. Revoke is reserved for when the entire AO is invalid or void (for example, an incorrect SSN makes the record unusable). Expired means the AO is no longer in effect because its term has ended.
