Regulation Notes:
Social Security is slow to post the latest CFR printing of its regulations, issued each April by the Government Printing Office. Check the current GPO version of the regulations at ecfr.gpoaccess.gov.
Even a current regulation may be obsolete, since Social Security is slow to conform its regulations to changes in the Act. For example: In September 2010, the Title II regulations on stepchild benefits were revised to reflect statutory changes in 1996.
Since 1979, the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives (NOSSCR) has been committed to providing the highest quality representation and advocacy on behalf of persons who are seeking Social Security and Supplemental Security Income.
