The US Social Security Administration has announced that it will no longer use outdated job listings, such as nut sorter and microfilm processor, to deny disability claims. These job listings have not been updated since 1991. Disability benefits are determined based on medical records and the individual's ability to work. If a person is unable to perform their previous job, the administration considers factors such as age, education, and work experience to determine if they can work in other types of jobs. This change aims to ensure that disability claims are evaluated fairly and accurately.
