2 regulationsExtension of Expiration Dates for 13 Body System Listings
The Social Security Administration is extending the expiration dates for medical criteria used to evaluate whether people qualify for disability benefits in 13 different body system categories. This update ensures that the medical standards the SSA uses to determine who receives disability payments remain current and based on the latest medical information.
Further Extension of the Flexibility in Evaluating Close Proximity of Time to Evaluate Ongoing Changes in Healthcare
The Social Security Administration is extending flexibility rules that give it more time to review and update how it evaluates changes in people's healthcare situations. This allows SSA to take longer when deciding whether someone's medical condition has improved or changed in ways that could affect their disability benefits.
