An Important Update to Our Compassionate Allowances Initiative
Date:
Dear Colleague,
I am pleased to announce that we have added 12 new conditions to our Compassionate Allowances initiative.
A Compassionate Allowances condition clearly meets our standard for disability under the law. When a Social Security or Supplemental Security Income claim involves a Compassionate Allowances condition, we can often make a decision quickly and minimize the time required to begin paying benefits.
Please see our press release for details.
I encourage you to share this information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Buckner
Associate Commissioner
