Title: Clarifying Education as a Vocational Factor (3480P)
Abstract: We propose to revise our regulations to remove references to vocational skill level from specific sections pertaining to education. We also propose to add language regarding the relationship between skill level and education. Additionally, we propose to clarify the definitions of "education" and "limited education" and introduce a rebuttable presumption that a claimant's education level is commensurate with his or her formal schooling. We believe these changes will result in greater clarity for our adjudicators and reduce the misapplication of our current policy.
