Title: Temporary Authorization for Federal Disability Examiners To Adjudicate Hearing Requests On-The-Record (3526P) 
Abstract: We propose to modify, on a temporary basis, the prehearing procedures we follow in claims for Social Security disability benefits and Supplemental Security Income payments based on disability or blindness under titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act. This proposed rule would authorize Federal disability examiners to issue fully favorable decisions without review by an attorney advisor or administrative law judge (ALJ) and would expedite the processing of cases at the hearing level without infringing on the right to a hearing before an ALJ. This temporary modification would remain in effect for a period not to exceed 5 years, unless we terminate or extend it by publication of a final rule in the Federal Register.
