1Opinion of the Court

MAGILL, Circuit Judge.

In this class action resulting in a recalculation of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits with respect to “unearned income,” the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) appeals from the district court’s order defining the scope of the certified class. Because the district court included claimants with time-barred claims (lapsed claims) in the certified class and equitable tolling cannot justify their inclusion, we reverse and remand to the district court. There is no challenge to the merits of the judgment.
