GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-02169 RIN 0960-AH04 Docket No. SSA-2009-0039 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Final rule. These rules are effective April 5, 2013. 20 CFR Part 404 We are revising the criteria in the Listing of Impairments (listings) that we use to evaluate cases involving impairments that affect multiple body systems in adults and children under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act (Act). The revisions reflect our program experience and address adjudicator questions we have received since we last comprehensively revised this body system in 2005. We do not expect any decisional differences due to the revisions in this body system.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-17934 RIN 0960-AH26 Docket No. SSA-2010-0060 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Final rules. These rules are effective August 24, 2012. 20 CFR Parts 404 and 416 We are revising our rules to give adjudicators the discretion to proceed to the fifth step of the sequential evaluation process for assessing disability when we have insufficient information about a claimant's past relevant work history to make the findings required for step 4. If an adjudicator finds at step 5 that a claimant may be unable to adjust to other work existing in the national economy, the adjudicator will return to the fourth step to develop the claimant's work history and make a finding about whether the claimant can perform his or her past relevant work. We expect that this new expedited process will not disadvantage any claimant or change the ultimate conclusion about whether a claimant is disabled, but it will promote administrative efficiency and help us make more timely disability determinations and decisions.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-14407 RIN 0960-AH49 Docket No. SSA-2012-0024 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Final rule. This final rule is effective on June 13, 2012. 20 CFR Part 404 We are extending the expiration dates of the following body systems in the Listing of Impairments (listings) in our regulations: Growth Impairment, Musculoskeletal System, Respiratory System, Cardiovascular System, Digestive System, Hematological Disorders, Skin Disorders, Neurological, and Mental Disorders. We are making no other revisions to these body system listings in this final rule. This extension will ensure that we continue to have the criteria we need to evaluate impairments in the affected body systems at step three of the sequential evaluation processes for initial claims and continuing disability reviews.
