0960-AG65 202310 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0960 Social Security Administration SSA Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Digestive Disorders and Skin Disorders

We are revising the criteria in sections 5.00 and 105.00, Digestive System, and sections 8.00 and 108.00, Skin Disorders, of our Listing of Impairments, appendix 1 to subpart P of part 404 of our regulations, that we use to evaluate claims involving digestive and skin disorders, respectively, in adults and children under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act. The listings describe disorders that we consider severe enough to prevent a person from engaging in any gainful activity, or to cause marked and severe functional limitations for a child claiming Supplemental Security Income payments under title XVI. We are revising these sections to ensure that the medical evaluation criteria are up-to-date and consistent with the latest advances in medical knowledge and treatment.
