Commissioner of Social Security Jo Anne Barnhart testified today before the Senate Finance Committee. She stated the following in her written remarks concerning her proposal to alter the disability determination process:
During the comment period, SSA received almost 900 comments. We reviewed these comments very carefully. In fact, I met with my senior staff to consider all of these comments. And we have made changes in response. I am pleased to report that as of last month, the final rule was under review at the Office of Management and Budget, and we expect it to be published shortly.
