Musculoskeletal Listings Changes Move Forward

     After almost six months of review, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has approved proposed amendments to Social Security's Listings for musculoskeletal disorders. Expect this proposal to appear in the Federal Register in the near future. Remember, this is only a proposal. The public has a right to comment on the proposal. Social Security will then carefully consider the comments before ignoring any that hinge on anything other than minor issues of wording. This process is likely to extend well past the election this November. If there's anything really terrible in the proposal -- and I wouldn't be surprised if there was -- a change in control of the House of Representatives or Senate could have an effect on the process.

Thanks for warning me that the link wasn't working. It should work now.

I wouldn't call it a warning, but more of heads up. Thanks for fixing

I am just happy for the trigger warning

Has anyone sneaked a peak at these yet or even heard a whiff of what changes there might be? I know we'll see soon, I just find it hard to believe that a document going through so many hands during this process isn't talked about.
