Rescission of Social Security Ruling 97-2p

AGENCY: Social Security Administration.

ACTION: Notice of rescission of Social Security Ruling.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with 20 CFR 402.35(b)(1), the Commissioner of 
Social Security gives notice of the rescission of Social Security 
Ruling (SSR) 97-2p.

DATES: Effective Date: This rescission will be effective November 21, 
2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Silverman, Office of 
Regulations, Social Security Administration, 6401 Security Boulevard, 
Baltimore, MD 21235-6401, (410) 594-2128. For information on 
eligibility or filing for benefits, call our national toll-free number, 
1-800-772-1213 or TTY 1-800-325-0778, or visit our Internet site, 
Social Security Online, at https://www.socialsecurity.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SSRs make available to the public 
precedential decisions relating to the Federal old-age, survivors, 
disability, supplemental security income, and special veterans benefits 
programs. SSRs may be based on determinations or decisions made at all 
levels of administrative adjudication, Federal court decisions, 
Commissioner's decisions, opinions of the Office of the General 
Counsel, or other interpretations of the law and regulations.
    In SSR 97-2p, we informed the public that we would use our existing 
regulatory authority to conduct prehearing case reviews in a wider 
range of circumstances than we had done previously. Specifically, we 
explained the situations in which an administrative law judge might 
return a claim to the disability determination services for a 
prehearing case review that could result in a fully or partially 
favorable revised determination for a claimant.
    SSR 97-2p also explained the procedures a claimant must follow if 
he or she wished either to continue to the ALJ hearing after receiving 
a fully favorable revised prehearing determination or to dismiss the 
request for a hearing after receiving a revised prehearing 
determination that was partially favorable.
    We are publishing regulatory changes in today's Federal Register 
that make some of the information in SSR 97-2p no longer accurate. The 
final rules, Amendments to Procedures for Certain Determinations and 
Decisions, revise the procedures a claimant must follow if he or she 
wants to have a hearing after receiving a fully favorable revised 
prehearing determination or does not want to have a hearing after 
receiving a partially favorable revised prehearing determination.
    We considered whether we should revise SSR 97-2p to reflect these 
changes. However, much of the information in SSR 97-2p is already 
contained in our regulations or in other SSRs, and we believe that we 
no longer need the limited additional information in SSR 97-2p. 
Accordingly, we are rescinding SSR 97-2p as obsolete.
