Title 20 published on 20-Apr-2017 03:33
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 20 CFR Part 405 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2016-30103 RIN 0960-AH71 Docket No. SSA-2014-0052 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Final rule. This final rule will be effective on January 17, 2017. However, compliance is not required until May 1, 2017. 20 CFR Parts 404, 405 and 416 We are revising our rules so that more of our procedures at the hearing and Appeals Council levels of our administrative review process are consistent nationwide. We anticipate that these nationally consistent procedures will enable us to administer our disability programs more efficiently and better serve the public.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2016-16265 RIN 0960-AH71 Docket No. SSA-2014-0052 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). To ensure that your comments are considered, we must receive them no later than August 11, 2016. 20 CFR Parts 404, 405 and 416 We propose to revise our rules so that more of our procedures at the administrative law judge (ALJ) and Appeals Council levels of our administrative review process are consistent nationwide. We anticipate that these nationally consistent procedures will enable us to administer our disability programs more efficiently and better serve the public.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2015-05921 RIN 0960-AH53 Docket No. SSA-2012-0068 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Final rule. This rule is effective April 20, 2015. 20 CFR Parts 404, 405, and 416 We are clarifying our regulations to require you to inform us about or submit all evidence known to you that relates to your disability claim, subject to two exceptions for certain privileged communications. This requirement includes the duty to submit all evidence that relates to your disability claim received from any source in its entirety, unless you previously submitted the same evidence to us or we instruct you otherwise. We are also requiring your representative to help you obtain the information or evidence that we require you to submit under our regulations. These modifications to our regulations will better describe your duty to submit all evidence that relates to your disability claim and enable us to have more complete case records on which to make more accurate disability determinations and decisions.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-17976 RIN 0960-AH67 Docket No. SSA-2014-0034 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Correction amendment. Effective on July 31, 2014, and applicable beginning July 25, 2014. 20 CFR Part 405 The Social Security Administration published a final rule document in the Federal Register on July 18, 2014 (79 FR 41881), extending the expiration date for the Temporary Pilot Program Setting the Time and Place for a Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge. That document inadvertently had a timing issue with § 405.315(e) not being codified by the July 18, 2014 publication. Section 405.315(e) was codified on July 25, 2014. This document corrects the final regulation by revising the now codified § 405.315(e).
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-14793 RIN 0960-AH37 Docket No. 2011-0056 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Final rules. These final rules are effective July 25, 2014. 20 CFR Parts 404, 405, and 416 These final rules explain how a claimant may object to appearing at a hearing via video teleconferencing, or to the time and place of a hearing. These final rules adopt, with further clarification regarding our good cause exception, the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that we published in the Federal Register on June 27, 2013. We expect that these final rules will have a minimal impact on the public, help ensure the integrity of our programs, and allow us to administer our programs more efficiently.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-03426 RIN 0960-AH53 Docket No. SSA-2012-0068 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). To ensure that your comments are considered, we must receive them by no later than April 21, 2014. 20 CFR Parts 404, 405, and 416 We propose to clarify our regulations to require you to inform us about or submit all evidence known to you that relates to your disability claim, subject to two exceptions for certain privileged communications. This requirement would include the duty to submit all evidence obtained from any source in its entirety, unless subject to one of these exceptions. We also propose to require your representative to help you obtain the information or evidence that we would require you to submit under our regulations. These modifications to our regulations would better describe your duty to submit all evidence that relates to your disability claim and enable us to have a more complete case record on which to make more accurate disability determinations and decisions.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-14894 RIN 0960-AH37 Docket No. 2011-0056 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Notice of proposed rulemaking. To ensure that your comments are considered, we must receive them no later than August 26, 2013. 20 CFR Parts 404, 405, and 416 We propose to revise our rules to protect the integrity of our programs and preserve limited resources. Prior to scheduling a hearing, we will notify the claimant that his or her hearing may be held by video teleconferencing. The claimant will have an opportunity to object to appearing by video teleconferencing within 30 days after the date he or she receives the notice. We also propose changes that allow us to determine that a claimant will appear via video teleconferencing if he or she changes residences while his or her request for hearing is pending, regardless of whether or not the claimant previously declined a hearing by video teleconferencing. Additionally, we propose changes that require a claimant to notify us, in writing, of an objection to the time and place of hearing at the earliest opportunity, but not later than 5 days before the date set for the hearing, or, if earlier, 30 days after receiving the notice of the hearing. We also propose to revise our rules so that an administrative law judge (ALJ) can direct a claimant and any other party to a hearing to appear by telephone in extraordinary circumstances. We anticipate that these proposed changes will have a minimal impact on the public, and will help ensure the integrity of our programs and allow us to administer our programs more efficiently.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-11932 RIN 0960-AH40 Docket No. SSA 2007-0044 SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION Final rule. This rule is effective June 20, 2013. 20 CFR Parts 404, 405, and 416 This final rule is another step in our continual efforts to handle workloads more effectively and efficiently. We are publishing final rules for portions of the rules we proposed in October 2007 that relate to persons, other than the claimant or any other party to the hearing, appearing by telephone. We are also clarifying that the administrative law judge (ALJ) will allow the claimant or any other party to a hearing to appear by telephone under certain circumstances when the claimant or other party requests to make his or her appearance in that manner. We expect that these final rules will make the hearings process more efficient and help us continue to reduce the hearings backlog. In addition, we made some minor editorial changes to our regulations that do not have any effect on the rights of claimants or any other parties.
