REPORT OF THE

COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES


The Social Security

Administration Should Provide

More Management And Leadership

In Determining Who Is Eligible

For Disability Benefits


  Department of Health, Education, and Welfare


State agencies have not received strong and
active leadership from the Social Security
Administration in determining who is qual-
ified to receive disability payments.

Several weaknesses GAO identified in the
administration of the disability determination
process could adversely affect the uniformity
of decisions. These weaknesses must be cor-
rected if there are to be assurances that--to
the extent possible--disability claims are proc-
essed uniformly and efficiently throughout
the country, regardless of where they are
filed.

The Social Security Administration should
adopt a stronger and more active management
role and, in cooperation with the States,
should correct the weaknesses identified in
this nationwide program.
