SSA-2007-0044 SSA Amendments to the Administrative Law Judge, Appeals Council, and Decision Review Board Appeals Levels Rulemaking 2024-05-28T14:16:38Z 0b00006480245749 0960-AH40 We propose to include in parts 404 and 416 of our rules many of the hearing level procedures now in place for disability cases in the Boston region. This change will expand those rules nationwide and apply them to hearings on both disability and non-disability matters. We expect these rules will make the hearings process more efficient, which will help us to reduce the hearings backlog, which has reached historic proportions, thereby benefiting all individuals requesting a hearing. We also propose to amend our rules governing the final level of the administrative review process to make proceedings at that level more truly appellate in nature, to establish procedures for appeals to that level, and to change the name of the body that will hear such appeals from the “Appeals Council,” or the “Decision Review Board in the Boston region,” to the “Review Board.” Consistent with the change to a more truly appellate process, we suggest limiting the circumstances in which new evidence may be added to the record during the appellate process. We also propose circumscribing the time period covered in any subsequent administrative hearing on remand from the Review Board or a federal court to the time period covered by the first administrative law judge’s (ALJ) hearing decision on the claim. Lastly, we would like to receive comments on our requiring for-profit entities requesting a hearing or appealing to the Review Board on behalf of an individual to file the request electronically.
