Updating Job Data for Social Security Disability Decisions.
This law mandates the Social Security Administration to regularly update the vocational data used when determining if disability beneficiaries can perform other work. The goal is to ensure that eligibility decisions for Disability Insurance (DI) are based on current, realistic labor market information. This includes incorporating newly created jobs in emerging industries, making the assessment process fairer for disabled individuals.
Key points
Requires the government to update the list of existing jobs in the national economy every three years, including new and emerging roles.
Disability benefit decisions will rely on more current market data, potentially changing how work capacity is assessed for beneficiaries.
