title: Federal old-age, survivors and disability insurance; determining disability and blindness; extension of expiration dates for several body system listings.  Social Security Administration (SSA).  Final rule.
abstract: SSA adjudicates claims at the third step of its sequential evaluation process for evaluating disability using the Listing of Impairments (the Listings) under the Social Security and supplemental security income (SSI) programs.  This final rule extends the dates on which several body system listings will no longer be effective.  We have made no revisions to the medical criteria in these listings; they remain the same as they now appear in the Code of Federal Regulations.  These extensions will ensure that we continue to have medical evaluation criteria in these listings to adjudicate claims for disability based on impairments in these body systems at step three of our sequential evaluation process.
