Social Security says it’s improving a practice called unfair by critics – CBS
The Social Security Administration said it’s dropping 114 occupations from the database, which includes more than 12,000 types of jobs. SSA adjudicators can no longer use a “not disabled” decision in an applicant’s case by citing any of these jobs as an example of work they could perform, the agency said. Some of the jobs that are getting dropped:
- Canary breeder
- Character impersonator
- Directory assistance operator
- Historian of the dramatic arts
- Motion-picture projectionist
- News wire-photo operator
- Radiotelegraph operator
- Reptile farmer
- Watch repairer
