December 20, 2007 - The House sends Commissioner Astrue a Note on SSA's Proposed Appeal Changes...

"Dramatic changes are unjustified. The backlog is the result of
chronic underfunding of SSA's Administrative budget, not faulty
appeals procedures."



In this 10-page tome, the House of Representatives sends SSA a letter regarding the proposals. The deftly worded, detailed missive displays a firm grasp of the downside to the proposals. Well worth the read, the letter continues in the general skein of what a potentially bad idea this particular move by the agency portends. The letter is signed by John Dingell, John Conyers, Charles Rangel, Pete Stark, Henry Waxman, Howard Berman, John Lewis, Frank Palone, Jr., Jim McDermott, Michael McNulty and Linda Sanchez.
