NOSSCR continues to actively monitor all of Social Security’s regulatory activities in the Federal Register. While many postings are simply minor revisions of existing forms, or changes estimates to the agency’s burden in collecting certain required information, NOSSCR views these comment opportunities as a chance to advance our agenda and share, in writing, the concerns of our members. This month, NOSSCR submitted comments on topics ranging from the time it takes to complete a work activity report, the inconsistent language on the waiver of right to appear at a hearing form, the importance of guaranteeing a safe and secure login portal for representatives while ensuring that representatives’ staff can easily access the same digital information, and the value in providing the Disability Determination Explanation (DDE) to representatives and claimants as soon as the decision is rendered. Take a look at our comments below, and feel free to reach out if you would like more information about how you can review and comment on future agency proposals.
