I learn something new everyday. Here’s another interesting post from JOA on the Connect board about the division of labor regarding SGA determinations and medical-vocational determinations: The DO does the first, the DDS does the second. JOA cites POMS DI 10501.025. Very straightforward.
And JOA ends his post with this little factoid: “[O]f SSA’s approximately 65,000 employees, about 15,000 are CRs. It’s my guess that every year each of these 15,000 CRs is the final adjudicator for awards of benefits worth a total of many millions of dollars.”
