Title: Removal of the Expiration Date for State Disability Examiner Authority to Make Fully Favorable Quick Disability Determinations and Compassionate Allowances  
Abstract:

We propose removing the expiration date from our rule authorizing State agency disability examiners to make fully favorable determinations without the approval of a State agency medical or psychological consultant in claims that we consider under our quick disability determinations (QDD) and compassionate allowances (CAL) processes. The disability examiner authority expires on November 11, 2016.  In this proposed rule, we remove the expiration date from the disability examiner authority, so that the authority  continues indefinitely.  Removing the expiration date will allow us to continue to make some favorable disability determinations more quickly. We are making no other substantive changes.
