Technical Amendment Language Change From “Wholly” to “Fully”; Correction
Document Number: 2010-18426
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-07-28
Agency: Social Security Administration, Agencies and Commissions
In the Federal Register of June 11, 2010, we published a final rules document replacing the word ``wholly'' with the word ``fully'' in a number of sections of our regulations when we describe the favorable and unfavorable nature of determinations or decisions we make on claims on benefits. We inadvertently amended Sec. 408.1070 incorrectly. This document corrects the wording in this section.

Amendments to Procedures for Certain Determinations and Decisions
Document Number: 2010-17896
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2010-07-22
Agency: Social Security Administration, Agencies and Commissions
We propose to revise the procedures for how claimants who request hearings before administrative law judges (ALJs) may seek further review of their fully favorable revised determinations based on prehearing case reviews or fully favorable attorney advisor decisions. We also propose to notify claimants who receive partially favorable determinations based on prehearing case reviews that an ALJ will still hold a hearing unless all parties to the hearing tell us in writing that we should dismiss the hearing requests. We expect that these changes will simplify the process and free up scarce administrative resources that we can better use to reduce the hearings level case backlog.

Type: Rule
Date: 2010-07-15
Agency: Social Security Administration, Agencies and Commissions
We are modifying our regulations to clarify and revise what we consider major life-changing events for the Medicare Part B income- related monthly adjustment amount (IRMAA) and what evidence we require to support a claim of a major life-changing event. Recent changes in the economy and other unforeseen events have had a significant effect on many Medicare Part B beneficiaries. The changes we are making in this interim final rule will allow us to respond appropriately to circumstances brought about by the current economic climate and other unforeseen events, as described below.

Setting the Time and Place for a Hearing Before an Administrative Law Judge
Document Number: 2010-16549
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-07-08
Agency: Social Security Administration, Agencies and Commissions
We are amending our rules to state that our agency is responsible for setting the time and place for a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). This change creates a 3-year pilot program that will allow us to test this new authority. Our use of this authority, consistent with due process rights of claimants, may provide us with greater flexibility in scheduling both in-person and video hearings, lead to improved efficiency in our hearing process, and reduce the number of pending hearing requests. This change is a part of our broader commitment to maintaining a hearing process that results in accurate, high-quality decisions for claimants.
