OMB Clears Proposed Regs On Representation

On August 27, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) cleared "with change" proposed regulations it had received from Social Security to "recognize entities as representatives, mandate the use of Form 1696 to appoint or revoke the appointment of a representative, define the roles of a principal representative and a professional representative, require professional representatives to file Form 1696 electronically, and require a representative to keep paper copies of certain documents ..."

Normally, proposed regulations appear in the Federal Register within a few days after OMB clears them, although the proposed new mental impairment listings were cleared by OMB on July 9 and have still not yet appeared in the Federal Register.
