This requires SSA to establish and maintain a disability decision process that is both valid and reliable. The purpose of this project is to develop, or identify, appropriate criteria for use in validating SSA's medical listings. Any criteria that are eventually developed must withstand scrutiny by experts representing the medical, functional, vocational, research, legal, and political arenas.
