           Social Security Administration

           Needs To Better Manage The

           Travel Of Its Administrative

           Law Judges


           Social Security Administration

           Department of Health, Education, and Welfare

           The Social Security Administration has been
           sending its administrative law judges to Puerto
           Rico on temporary assnments since 1970 to
           control the case backlog there.
           Two travel practices were of particular con-
           cern:
               --The authorizing of visits by judges to
               Puerto Rico when hearing offices near
               the judges' offices, and in some cases
               their own offices, were more heavily
               backlogged.
               --The furnishing of more assistance to
               the Puerto Rico hearing offices than to
               more heavily backlogged offices.
           The Social Security Administration is ineffec-
           tively managing interregional travel by its
           judges and coordinating such travel with of-
           fice needs.
           The Social Security Administration needs a
           travel policy that will provide assistance in
           proportion to the needs of all hearing offices
           while minimizing unnecessary travel and
           expense.
