SSA-2017-0015 SSA Setting the Manner for the Appearance of Parties and Witnesses at a Hearing Rulemaking 2020-07-29T16:49:59Z 0b00006482525faa 0960-AI09 We propose revising 20 CFR Parts 404 and 416 to clarify that the agency retains the ultimate right to determine the most efficient manner for parties and witnesses to appear at a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ), and we will schedule the hearing accordingly. In general, we will schedule parties for a hearing to appear by video teleconference (VTC) unless VTC technology is unavailable; we determine that it would be more efficient for the individual to appear in person; or there are circumstances that may prevent a party from appearing by VTC. We will schedule expert witnesses to appear at hearings by VTC or telephone, unless VTC and telephone technology is unavailable, we determine that it would be more efficient for an expert to appear in person, or there are circumstances that may prevent an expert from appearing by VTC or telephone. We propose that individuals will no longer have the option to opt out of the manner of hearing we schedule unless certain circumstances apply. We are proposing these changes to increase efficiency and reduce hearing delays.
