Testing Modifications to Initial Disability Claim Procedures and Disability Determination Procedures; Test Sites for Disability Claim Manager Positions

SSA is announcing the locations and the duration of additional tests that it will conduct under the current rules at 20 CFR 404.906 and 416.1406. Those rules authorize the testing of several modifications to the disability determination procedures and disability claim procedures that we normally follow in adjudicating claims for disability insurance benefits under title II of the Social Security Act (the Act) and claims for supplemental security income (SSI) payments based on disability under title XVI of the Act. This notice announces the test sites and duration of tests involving use of a disability claim manager (DCM).
