title: Extension of the expiration data for state disability examiner authority to make fully favorable quick disability determinations and compassionate allowances. Final rule.
abstract: We are extending the expiration date of our rule that authorizes State agency disability examiners to make fully favorable determinations without the approval of a State agency medical or psychological consultant in claims that we consider under our quick disability determination (QDD) and compassionate allowance (CAL) processes. The current rule will expire on November 14, 2014. In this final rule, we are changing the November 14, 2014 expiration or "sunset'' date to November 13, 2015, extending the authority for 1 year. We are making no other substantive changes.
