Cardiovascular Disability: Updating the Social Security Listings

By Committee on Social Security Cardiovascu, Committee on Social Security Cardiovascular Disability Criteria, Institute of Medicine, et al.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a screening tool called the Listing of Impairments to identify claimants who are so severely impaired that they cannot work at all and thus immediately qualify for benefits. In this report, the IOM makes several recommendations for improving SSA's capacity to determine disability benefits more quickly and efficiently using the Listings.
