Final Regulations on CDR Failure to Cooperate Process (71 Fed. Reg. 60819, 10/17/06)

Date:

SUMMARY: We are amending our regulations to provide that we will suspend your disability benefits before we make a determination during a continuing disability review (CDR) under title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act) when you fail to comply with our request for necessary information. Should you remain noncompliant for a period of one year following your suspension, we will then terminate your disability benefits. Although our current title XVI regulations generally provide for the termination of payments after 12 months of suspension, we are amending our regulations by adding this policy to our title II regulations and by restating it in the title XVI CDR regulatory provisions.

DATES: These final rules are effective December 18, 2006. Pdf version attached.
