SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Solution architects designing tools for SSA's disability determination program often lack deep, authoritative knowledge of SSA's complex business process and binding policy framework, leading to solutions that fail to align with operational realities or comply with POMS requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Full Business Process Coverage: Detailed guidance on the five-step sequential evaluation, Listings of Impairments, RFC assessment, adjudicative level workflows, medical evidence rules, and quality assurance requirements.
  • Policy-Aware Design Guidance: Explicit architect implications for AI/ML, health IT, and case processing modernization, including mandatory human review gates, audit trail requirements, and POMS constraints that technology cannot override.
  • Companion to ssa-hit-architect: Use this skill first to master the business problem context, then use ssa-hit-architect for technical Health IT integration layer specifics like MEGAHIT, EDCS, and HIT partner onboarding.

Quick Start

Use the ssa-disability-ea skill to walk through the five-step sequential evaluation process and identify the highest-impact AI/ML use cases for a new SSA disability case processing modernization project.

Frequently Asked Questions about ssa-disability-ea

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How does the SSA disability sequential evaluation process work?▼

The SSA disability sequential evaluation uses a mandatory five-step process to determine disability, checking work activity, severity, Listings of Impairments, past work, and RFC assessment capabilities. This framework governs all claim adjudication workflows.

How do I design AI/ML solutions that comply with SSA disability policy?▼

Designing AI/ML for SSA disability requires enforcing mandatory human review gates, audit trails, and POMS policy constraints. Technology cannot override legal defensibility requirements or operational workflows for disability determinations.

What is POMS policy and how does it constrain SSA disability case processing?▼

POMS policy dictates the binding operational rules for SSA disability case processing, including medical evidence rules and quality assurance requirements. Architects must align solution designs with these constraints to ensure legal defensibility.

How do I map RFC assessment requirements to health IT integration architecture?▼

RFC assessment requires mapping physical and mental capacity limitations to health IT integration data flows. Architects must ensure case processing systems capture medical evidence accurately to support adjudicative level workflows.

Does this cover technical Health IT integration specifics like EDCS and MEGAHIT?▼

No, technical Health IT integration specifics like EDCS, MEGAHIT, and HIT partner onboarding are covered by the companion ssa-hit-architect skill. Use this skill first to master the business problem context.

What are the limitations of automating SSA disability determination workflows?▼

Automating SSA disability workflows is limited by mandatory human review gates and quality assurance requirements. POMS policy constraints prevent technology from overriding legal defensibility rules at various adjudicative levels.
