| Request Title | Increase federal appropriation and position level for Social Security disability determinations |
| Biennium | 2014-2016 |
| Budget Round | Amended Bill |
| Category | Technical Adjustment |
| Region | None |
Description
|
Increases federal appropriation for the costs of the Disability Determination Services (DDS) unit. DDS processes disability determinations for the Social Security Administration (SSA) with federal funding. After several years of SSA limits on states hiring DDS workers, the agency has directed Virginia to hire additional staff to help with the significant backlog of pending determinations. This adjustment is necessary to ensure adequate appropriation to cover the cost of the new staff and avoid administrative actions. The agency's position level is also increased by 25 to reflect higher staffing levels. |
