| Text of Recommendation | We recommend SSA revise the Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) and/or the Program Operations Manual System (POMS) to provide (a) detailed guidance related to financial oversight of the Disability Determination Services (DDS) and (b) specific instruction to the DDSs to uniformly carry out their financial management responsibilities. In addition, SSA should specify what actions it will take (in compliance with the Social Security Act) to remedy DDSs’ recurring financial management findings and lack of fiscal control procedures. |
