The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which is part of the White House, has posted this summary of a proposed regulation change which Social Security has filed:
Social Security must obtain OMB approval before posting this in the Federal Register.
On July 13, 2009, we extended until August 10, 2011 the final rule that authorizes attorney advisors to conduct certain prehearing procedures and to issue fully favorable decisions. We now propose to eliminate the sunset date for the attorney advisor program. The attorney advisor program has proved to be successful, with claimant's decisions being processed more efficiently, which has helped to reduce the agency's backlog. The success of the program has resulted in approving benefits in a timelier manner.
