I'm pleased to introduce this newsletter which is designed to keep you up to date about Social Security issues that may be of interest to you.
My top priority is improving the disability process. Therefore, I want to provide some information in this edition about the many initiatives we have underway to address the challenge. I'm particularly proud to provide information about our progress on hiring 175 new Administrative Law Judges this year, as well as updated information about our "compassionate allowance" initiative which will allow Social Security to quickly identify and award benefits to those obviously disabled. In addition, this update will provide you information about our efforts to encourage more medical providers to submit patient records timely as well as electronically, which will help us attack the disability backlog and improve the disability decision process.
This issue provides some good news on the President's FY 09 budget request for Social Security and updated information on economic stimulus payments for Social Security recipients. This edition also introduces other outreach efforts we're engaged in to improve Social Security service to your constituents. I think you'll find that this newsletter will help keep you informed about the latest news and information from Social Security.

Social Security Offers Positions to 144 New Administrative Law Judges
Social Security has made offers to 144 of the 175 new Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) it will hire this fiscal year. Due to litigation and budget cuts, we have about ten percent fewer ALJs than we did a decade ago. During that same time, the number of cases waiting for a hearing decision has more than doubled.
In contrast to many past years, we have worked hard to allocate more judges to the most backlogged offices. A disproportionate number of the judges are being assigned to the Chicago and Atlanta regions— Ohio alone will get about ten percent of the new judges.

Social Security has an obligation to provide benefits quickly to applicants whose medical conditions are so serious that they obviously meet disability standards.
Compassionate allowances are a way of quickly identifying diseases and other medical conditions that invariably qualify an individual to receive disability benefits based on minimal objective medical information.
In December 2007, we held the first of four public hearings on this initiative in Washington, D.C. where testimony was taken from experts evaluating rare diseases. The next public hearing is scheduled to take place in April 2008 in Boston, MA where testimony from oncology experts will be taken. For further information about compassionate allowances, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/compassionateallowances.
Medical Providers Could Help Their Patients by Sharing Records with Us Timely, as Well as Electronically
An incomplete medical record too often impedes individuals entitled to disability benefits from receiving them on a timely basis or precludes them from receiving benefits altogether. Medical providers could help their patients by sharing records with Social Security on a more timely basis. Equally important, technology is helping us transform the disability decision-making process, which means better service for applicants across the country. In this regard, medical providers could further assist their patients by sharing their medical records electronically with Social Security and its partner agencies. To help provide more timely service to their patients seeking disability benefits and, ultimately, Medicaid or Medicare coverage, we ask that medical providers respond promptly to requests for patient records and also adopt electronic processes to speed the decision making process.
To learn more about the options available for submitting records electronically, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/ere.
Reaching Out to the Mental Health Community
Mental health impairments are involved in about one-third of the applications that Social Security receives for disability benefits. To provide quality service to individuals with mental health impairments, we want to reach out to the mental health community. Information from you, as a mental health professional, is vitally important to support claims for Social Security Disability Insurance and for Supplemental Security Income benefits.
When evaluating mental disorders, information from treating sources is essential to accurately assess the onset and severity of claimants' impairments and their effect on functional capacity. This applies to new claims, determinations of continuing eligibility for current beneficiaries, and appeals.
With the input of many mental health professionals, organizations, experts and industry leaders, we have produced a fact sheet that we'd like to share with members of the mental health community. You can read the fact sheet at www.socialsecurity.gov/disability/professionals/mentalhealthproffacts.htm
Commissioner Summarizes Initiatives Underway to Improve the Disability Process
Each year, approximately 2.5 million people apply for Social Security disability benefits. On average, one-third of them are approved upon initial application, which takes an average of three months for a decision. But for those who are denied and appeal the decision to the hearing level, it can take a long time to receive a decision – much too long.
View our special article to learn more about the efforts underway to improve the disability process.
Six Percent Increase Requested for Social Security's FY 09 Budget
The President requested $10.46 billion for Social Security's administrative expenses in his FY 09 budget proposal, a six percent increase over our 2008 appropriation. Almost no other domestic agencies received increases over inflation
Social Security urges Congress to enact this budget proposal, and to do so as soon as possible. For more information on the FY 09 budget request, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/budget.
IRS To Inform Social Security Recipients About the Stimulus Payments
The Internal Revenue Service will begin sending stimulus payments to more than 130 million taxpayers in May. Anyone filing a 2007 tax return needs to take no other action. Social Security recipients who did not file a 2006 tax return will receive a packet of information from the IRS which includes everything needed to file a 2007 return and receive a stimulus payment.
Social Security recipients can provide an estimate of their total annual benefits on their tax return if they do not have the original SSA form 1099. They do NOT need to request a replacement.
For more specific information, please visit www.irs.gov.
At Social Security, we are committed to providing the best possible information to the diverse communities we serve. That's why Social Security offers many materials in Spanish, the second most common language in the United States. To begin, visit www.segurosocial.gov/español— a comprehensive website that provides valuable Social Security information on our programs, benefits and services. In addition, individuals can request their Social Security Statement in Spanish at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/espanol/declaracion/howto7004_sp.html. An online calculator is available at www.segurosocial.gov/OACT/quickcalc/index-esp.html. You can also take advantage of our automated phone services at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). If you need one, you can even request an interpreter. Begin getting Social Security information in Spanish now at www.segurosocial.gov/español.
New Poster Promotes Medicare Prescription Drug Program and Extra Help
Spreading the word about the Medicare Prescription Drug Program—and the extra help available through Social Security—is important to us. One of our latest outreach efforts is the poster pictured here. Please download the poster and display it where people who might be eligible are likely to see it.
In case you weren't aware, here are the qualifications for extra help:
You may request copies of the new poster by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Six of the world's most promising clinical investigators have been chosen to receive prestigious 2004 Brian D. Novis Research Grants from the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) in order to further their research into better treatments, management, prevention and a cure for multiple myeloma, cancer of the bone marrow caused by uncontrolled growth of plasma cells. The awards presentation took place on Saturday, December 6, 2003, during the American Society of Hematology (ASH) 45TH Annual Meeting, one of the largest oncology meetings in the world, in San Diego, CA.
This is the 10th year that the IMF has made grants possible through donations from private individuals. They are awarded annually to doctors and researchers doing work in the field of myeloma. Senior grant recipients receive $80,000 while Junior grant recipients are funded in the amount of $40,000. The 2004 recipients will begin their projects immediately after the first of the year.
Brian Durie, M.D., IMF Chairman of the Board and member of the IMF Scientific Advisory Board bestowed the awards along with Susie Novis, President of the IMF. The 2004 Brian D. Novis Research Grant recipients are the following:
Dr. Manuel Penichet, M.D., Ph.D, Associate Researcher
Los Angeles
"Antibody-avidin Fusion Proteins Targeting the Transferrin Receptor: Potential Therapeutics for the Treatment of MM"
Dr. Penichet hypothesizes that antibody-avidin fusion proteins specific for the transferrin receptor (antiTfR IgG3-AV) can be used alone or in combination with other agents as a novel and effective antiproliferative drug in myeloma. He will first determine the effect of antiTfR IgG3-AV on cell proliferation and apoptosis in myeloma cells. He will then examine the synergistic effect of the combination of antibody-avidin fusion proteins specific for the transferrin receptor with other cytotoxic or sensitizing agents. He then plans to examine the in vivo anti-tumor activity of anti-TfR IgG3-Av alone or combined with another cancer drug in SCID mice bearing human myeloma cells. This represents a new approach to targeted therapy of myeloma.
Dr. Marco Ladetto, Assistant Professor in Hematology
The University of Torino
"The role of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) in Multiple Myeloma"
Dr. Ladetto has demonstrated that COX-2 expression is common in myeloma. His preliminary data indicates that nearly 35% of myeloma patients show increased ex-pression of COX-2. He plans to determine the presence of COX-2 expression on a large number of myeloma patients at diagnosis, remission, relapse, and at progression. He will quantify COX-2 mRNA expression and demonstrate COX-2 in the bone marrow by immunochemistry as well as COX-2 expression analysis on assorted cell populations. He will evaluate the prognostic value of COX-2 expression in the outcome of therapy of myeloma.
Dr. Chao-Lan Yu, Assistant Professor
of Medicine
Renewal (second year funding)
"Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling (SOCS): Its Regulation & Potential Implication as a Therapeutic Agent in Multiple Myeloma"
Dr. Yu proposes to continue his studies on the suppression of cytokine signaling through SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 proteins. He has demonstrated that both SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 are present in undetectable levels in two myeloma cell lines. He hypothesizes that the SOCS-3 gene may be hypermethylated in myeloma cells. He has constructed recombinant retroviruses expressing SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 proteins. He plans to continue his investigation into the mechanisms of defective SOCS gene expression and the tumor-suppressing effects of SOCS protein. He will examine the role of hypermethylation of the SOCS genes which are involved in down-regulating cytokine stimulation. He will determine whether SOCS-3 is hypermethylated in myeloma and whether the enforced expression of SOCS proteins has an effect on apoptosis and cell growth.
Dr. Mathias Oelke, Research Associate
Development of artificial antigen presenting cells for adoptive immunotherapy of multiple myeloma"
Dr. Oelke proposes developing artificial antigen presenting cells for adoptive immuno-therapy for myeloma. The major problem is the presence of functional defects associated with autologous dendritic cells in patients with myeloma, as well as the lack of a reproducible and economically viable method for generating antigen-specific T-cells using autologous dendritic cells. His preliminary data indicates that HLA-Ig based artificial Antigen Presenting Complexes (aAPC) can produce antigen specific T-cells. If successful, the use of HLA-Ig based aAPC's would be a new approach to produce large numbers of specific T-cells for adoptive transfer in myeloma.
Dr. Francesco Piazza, Research Assistant
Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Padova
"Roles of CK2 and GSK3 serine-threonine kinases in the regulation of proliferative and survival pathways in MM"
Dr. Piazza will study the roles of CK2 and GSK-3 serine-threonine kinases in the regulation of proliferative and survival pathways in myeloma. CK2 phosphorylates IkB in the C-terminal PEST domain, altering its stability. This PEST domain is also a substrate for calpain-mediated degradation of IkB phosphorylation by CK2. CK2 may facilitate its calpain-dependent degradation in B-lymphocytes. He plans to assess the importance of CK2 directed IkB phosphorylation in myeloma. NF-kB drives transcription of c-myc which is crucial for proliferation in myeloma. He also plans to test whether the NF-kB and CK2 may collaborate in the c-myc pathway and influence myeloma cell proliferation and apoptosis. These findings suggest that CK2 counteracts apoptosis. GSK3b can also modulate NF-kB function. GSK3b has been shown to be essential for the onset of an NF-kB derived antiapoptotic transcriptional program downstream of T1Fk. He aims to study how GSK3b affects NF-kB downstream.
Dr. Hideaki Ishikawa
Investigation of the molecules controlling myeloma cell growth and application for therapy"
This grant is made possible through IMF Japan in memory of Aki Horinouchi. Mr. Horinouchi was the founder of IMF Japan.
Dr. Ishikawa will undertake the investigation of the molecules controlling myeloma cell growth and application for therapy. This research grant is made possible through IMF Japan in memory of Aki Horinouchi. Mr. Horinouchi was the founder of IMF Japan.
The IMF appreciates the evaluation and preparation of critiques of the research grant proposals by Professor Håkan Mellstedt and other IMF Scientific Advisors serving on his committee of reviewers.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - A health care aide at the now-shuttered Warner's Home for the Aged in Altoona was sentenced Thursday to 30 days to 24 months less one day in the Blair County Prison because of neglect that led to an 80-year-old man's death.
Diana L. Frye, 62, is the second Warner's Home employee who will do time in jail because of the death of Kenneth "Slim" McGuire, 80, a veteran of the Korean War and a resident of Warner's for nearly five years before his death.
What unfolded in the courtroom of Blair County President Judge Jolene G. Kopriva Thursday afternoon was a story of tragedy, not only for McGuire but also for Frye, whose prison sentence was delayed until Aug. 19 because her son is on his death bed.
Assistant Public Defender Joseph Hartye called McGuire's death on Nov. 17, 2011, a tragedy, and said Frye was "overwhelmed" by the care that McGuire needed.
He said she "didn't feel qualified to give Mr. McGuire the level of care he required."
But, he said to Kopriva, Frye accepted responsibility for what occurred.
Frye said she was sorry she didn't do more to help McGuire who suffered from sores on his arms, legs, buttocks and other areas of his body.
The forensic pathologist who examined McGuire upon his death, Dr. Harry Kamerow, said the older man suffered from "a state of ill health, malnutrition and wasting."
His summary of McGuire's suffering was included in a statewide grand jury report that eventually recommended neglect charges against Sherry Warner, 65, the owner of the home, Frye and another aide, Marjory J. Koch, 45, of Altoona.
Koch will be sentenced in July, and according to Senior Deputy Attorney General Heather Albright, the AG's office will not oppose a sentence of probation for her.
Albright told the judge that Koch cooperated with the investigation into McGuire's death and testified before the statewide grand jury.
The deputy attorney general said Frye in her statement about the case in a presentence report only went "so far" in accepting responsibility.
Albright said in other statements Frye admitted that at night she would look into the room where McGuire slept, but she would not check to see if he was wet or in need of care.
Frye told the judge, "I am sorry I didn't do more than I did."
She said she was hoping she did her best, and then she said, "I did try. ... I
wasn't trying hard enough."
She turned to Theresa Strunk, McGuire's daughter, and said she was sorry.
"I didn't want it to happen," she said.
To Judge Kopriva, what occurred to McGuire represented "an extremely serious case. A death occurred."
She said that she had to look at the case of Warner, the owner of the home, sentenced two months ago by Judge Daniel J. Millliron to a minimum of three months in jail, as a guide in imposing sentence on Frye.
The judge said that people have to decide if they want to be whistleblowers when they see something that is not right, and she said "you are expected to have your own conscience."
Then the judge acknowledged Frye was going through a difficult time in her own life, with the impending death of her son.
In addition to imposing a short prison sentence, Kopriva ordered Frye to pay a $500 fine.
She barred Frye from any further employment in the health care field and said she could not have contact with the victims.
Strunk, McGuire's daughter, said the death had an effect on her. She said she didn't know how much time her dad had left, but she said the tragic nature of the death could have been prevented "if they would have done their job properly."
She lamented that she will never again be able to tell her father how much she loved him.
"They took the one I loved, and that was my daddy," she said.
