Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Proposal to Restructure the Social Security Administration's Disability Determination Process: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Social Security of the Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, April 14, 1994 As you know, Mr. Chairman, in October 1993 I testified before this Subcommittee for the first time as Commissioner of Social Security. I told you that my goal is to provide not just good service but world-class service to the millions of people who look to ssa for help. I described our plans to reengineer some of our business processes that are based in large part on procedures begun 40 years ago. By reengineering, we mean viewing each process as a whole, from start to finish. We will focus on the customer's needs, and redesign the process to eliminate fragmentation and duplication within the organization. The goal of reengineering is to dramatically improve efficiency, rather than just make small, incremental improvements in pieces of the process. Because of the enormous challenges facing the disability program in the form of unprecedented workloads, we determined that our first reengineering effort would address the disability determination process. Workload statistics which showed higher backlogs and claimants experiencing longer processing times clearly indicated a process in need of a radical redesign. We challenged a special team of talented ssa and State disability determination services (dds) employees with a wide range of experience and expertise in the disability process to fundamentally rethink the way we process claims for disability benefits. We asked, How would we do this better if we were starting from scratch? I am extremely proud of how effectively the Disability Process Reengineering Team has responded to this challenge. Over the past 6 months, the Team conducted interviews across the Nation with more than front-line Federal and State workers and with more than 700 representatives from the medical and legal communities, disability advocates, congressional staffs, and other groups. Today, I am very pleased to tell you about the proposal that the Team submitted to me and the Reengineering Executive Steering Committee (ssa senior managers, union officials, and presidents of professional organizations in ssa and the ddss) at the end of last month.

Book excerpt: The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on Improving the Disability Decision Process has been working since it first met in January 2005 to develop recommendations to the Social Security Administration (SSA) on how to improve the medical aspects of its disability determination process. By law, Social Security can only pay benefits to those unable to engage in substantial gainful activity because of a "medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months (emphasis added)." Medical and psychological expertise is critical both in developing the criteria for measuring the severity and functional impact of an impairment or impairments on an applicant's ability to work and in applying the criteria to individual cases where the medical evidence does not clearly meet the criteria in the eyes of a nonmedical disability examiner.

This book was released on 2007-05-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits to disabled persons of less than full retirement age and to their dependents. SSA also provides Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments to disabled persons who are under age 65. For both programs, disability is defined as a "medically determinable physical or mental impairment" that prevents an individual from engaging in any substantial gainful activity and is expected to last at least 12 months or result in death. Assuming that an applicant meets the nonmedical requirements for eligibility (e.g., quarters of covered employment for SSDI; income and asset limits for SSI), the file is sent to the Disability Determination Services (DDS) agency operated by the state in which he or she lives for a determination of medical eligibility. SSA reimburses the states for the full costs of the DDSs. The DDSs apply a sequential decision process specified by SSA to make an initial decision whether a claim should be allowed or denied. If the claim is denied, the decision can be appealed through several levels of administrative and judicial review. On average, the DDSs allow 37 percent of the claims they adjudicate through the five-step process. A third of those denied decide to appeal, and three-quarters of the appeals result in allowances. Nearly 30 percent of the allowances made each year are made during the appeals process after an initial denial. In 2003, the Commissioner of Social Security announced her intent to develop a "new approach" to disability determination. In late 2004, SSA asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to help in two areas related to its initiatives to improve the disability decision process: 1) Improvements in the criteria for determining the severity of impairments, and 2) Improvements in the use of medical expertise in the disability decision process. This interim report provides preliminary recommendations addressing the three tasks that relate to medical expertise issues, with a special focus on the appropriate qualifications of medical and psychological experts involved in disability decision making. After further information gathering and analyses of the effectiveness of the disability decision process in identifying those who qualify for benefits and those who do not, the committee may refine its recommendations concerning medical and psychological expertise in the final report. The final report will address a number of issues with potential implications for the qualifications of the medical experts involved in the disability decision process.
