PROGRAM INFORMATION
Short Description
Funds are used to pay the costs associated with collecting medical evidence and making disability determinations in accordance with the Social Security Administration's disability program. Therefore, this program is not subject to 2 CFR 200.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is responsible for disability determinations under the Disability Insurance (DI) and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. The disability process begins when a person, referred to as a claimant, completes a claim for DI or SSI benefits. SSA field office staff verifies the claimant’s medical eligibility. The claim is then forwarded to the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) for a medical determination of disability. To assist in making proper disability determinations, the DDS is authorized to purchase medical examinations, x-rays and laboratory tests on a consultative basis to supplement evidence obtained from the claimants’ physicians or other treating sources.
