As the implementation of workers' compensation managed care programs spreads, the volume of state rules and regulations for the industry multiplies as well. And as you know, keeping track of the various iterations is an extremely difficult task. The future holds more regulation, not less. You need a resource that allows you to quickly scan summaries of the latest laws and regulations in each state to easily identify opportunities around the country to expand you business. State-by-State Laws and Regulations on Workers' Compensation Managed Care covers all the rules on every aspect of workers' compensation, including choice of physicians ... utilization review ... provider reimbursement ... cost containment dispute resolution ... 24-hour care ... and much more. Completely updated to include numerous new laws passed since the last edition was published, the 1999 Edition helps you: identify states with favorable -- or unfavorable conditions for expanding your business -- watch out for changes in what you can, can't and must do in states where you already do business -- know in advance which products and programs can -- and can't -- succeed in states where you plan to do business. Don't miss out of profit opportunities -- or run afoul of the law -- just because you don't know the rules.

The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. To receive SSDI or SSI disability benefits, an individual must meet the statutory definition of disability, which is "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity [SGA] by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." SSA uses a five-step sequential process to determine whether an adult applicant meets this definition. Functional Assessment for Adults with Disabilities examines ways to collect information about an individual's physical and mental (cognitive and noncognitive) functional abilities relevant to work requirements. This report discusses the types of information that support findings of limitations in functional abilities relevant to work requirements, and provides findings and conclusions regarding the collection of information and assessment of functional abilities relevant to work requirements.
