Description

The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two of the largest federal disability programs. GAO designated federal disability programs as a high-risk area, in part because eligibility criteria had not been updated to reflect medical and technological advances and labor market changes. Given the size and cost of its disability programs, SSA needs updated criteria to appropriately determine who qualifies for benefits. This report assesses SSAäó»s efforts to update its medical criteria and develop a new occupational information system, and to identify other steps taken to modernize disability determination criteria. Includes recommendations. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
