Journal Article

· Fed. Regist. (Wash., D.C.); (United States)
OSTI ID:6726322
The proposed rule implements recent legislation which (1) broadens the definitions of ''miner'' and ''pneumoconiosis'' for purposes of establishing entitlement to black lung benefits, (2) modifies the evidentiary requirements necessary to establish entitlement to Black Lung benefits, (3) requires that each claimant whose claim has been denied or is pending at the time of enactment be given the opportunity to have the claim reviewed under the revised evidentiary requirements; and (4) makes certain other substantive changes in the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended. These rules explain the revised statutory and evidentiary provisions of the law and the role of the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the review of the denied and pending Part B claims.
