RECON Act

This bill changes the appeal process for Social Security benefits under Title II and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) under Title XVI. People who disagree with an initial decision on their claim could request a hearing directly. The Social Security Commissioner could no longer require a reconsideration review of the initial decision before that hearing. The change would apply to initial decisions made on or after one year after the bill becomes law.
