Yesterday, the Social Security Administration sent over to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) proposed final regulations on Hearings Held by Administrative Appeals Judges of the Appeals Council. If approved by OMB, these will be published in the Federal Register and go into effect.
Under the Congressional Review Act, the incoming Congress could overturn these regulations by a simple majority vote in each House of Congress. In the alternative, should Joe Biden become President, his Administration could refuse to implement the regulations and go through the longer process to undo them administratively.
ODAR might have already issued its last favorable decision. Congrats to Gruber and Neagle for ending due process of law for SSD claimants.
ReplyDeleteRest assured that there are plenty of us out here on the bench that will preserve due process of law and will destroy any attempt by any administration to deny any claimant the right to a full and fair hearing
ReplyDeleteIs there a proposed text for the final rule?
