We apply these criteria when you claim benefits based on disability under title II and title XVI of the Social Security Act (the Act). The proposed revisions reflect current medical knowledge, treatment, and methods of evaluating impairments that affect multiple body systems.","action":"Proposed rules.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"Social Security Administration","name":"Social Security Administration","id":470,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/social-security-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/470","parent_id":null,"slug":"social-security-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2002/12/23/02-32217.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":404,"title":20},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":416,"title":20}],"citation":"67 FR 78196","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2003-02-21","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"To be sure your comments are considered, we must receive them by February 21, 2003.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Regulation Nos. 4 and 16"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"02-32217","effective_on":null,"end_page":78202,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2002/12/23/02-32217.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/23/02-32217/revised-medical-criteria-for-evaluating-impairments-that-affect-multiple-body-systems","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/02-32217?publication_date=2002-12-23","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2002-12-23/02-32217/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":7,"page_views":{"count":98,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 14:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-23/pdf/02-32217.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2002-12-23","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2002/12/23/02-32217.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0960-AF32":{"issue":"200404","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/0960-AF32/revised-medical-criteria-for-evaluating-impairments-affecting-multiple-body-systems-803f-","title":"Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Impairments Affecting Multiple Body Systems (803F)","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=200404&RIN=0960-AF32&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["0960-AF32"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":78196,"subtype":null,"title":"Revised Medical Criteria for Evaluating Impairments That Affect Multiple Body Systems","toc_doc":"Multiple body system impairments; medical criteria evaluation","toc_subject":"Social security benefits and supplemental security income:","topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Aged","Aged","Blind","Disability benefits","Public assistance programs","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Social security","Supplemental Security Income (SSI)"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":67}
