DPC staff and other advocates met with Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue [last week] regarding concerns about the impact of proposed rule changes on the Social Security system appeals process. While the public comment period has officially closed, advocates wanted to discuss what are considered the most problematic proposals, including new limits on submission of evidence within 5 days before the administrative law judge hearing or after the hearing. In addition to signing on to the comments of the Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities, the DPC had submitted testimony on behalf of The Arc [Association for Retarded Citizens] and United Cerebral Palsy.
