REPORT OF THE
COMPTROLLER GENERAL
OF THE UNITED STATES


RELEASED


010230:


Examination Of Allegations

Concerning Administration

Of The Black Lung Benefits

Program  


Social Security Administration


Department


of Health, Education, and Welfare


According to these allegations, the Social
Security Administration has not adequately
determined the eligibility of claimants
awarded black lung benefits.
Although most of the allegations could not be
substantiated, Social Security has adopted dis-
ability criteria for determining eligibility
which appear to be more liberal than intended
by black lung legislation.
