November 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) New Social Security Disability Rules: One Claim at a Time
Citing "an increase in the number of subsequent disability claims in recent years," the Social Security Administration (SSA) has changed the rules for filing more than one disability claim at a time.
Previously, a claimant was allowed to submit a new disability claim while a prior claim was pending. Under Social Security Ruling 11-1p, people seeking disability will no longer be allowed to have two claims for the same type of benefit pending at the same time. A new claim under a different type of benefit will not be impacted by this ruling.
This new ruling greatly affects plaintiffs with pending claims and appeals for their disability requests. Under the new rules, an individual will no longer be allowed to have two claims for the same type of benefit simultaneously before the SSA. This includes both initial claims and appeals. If a claimant wishes to file a new disability claim of the same type as one already pending at any level of administrative review, they will have to choose between continuing with current individual claim reviews that may be pending, or declining to pursue further administrative review and filing a new application.
Pursue a Pending Disability Claim orFile a New Claim?
If a claimant already has a claim pending in administrative review, any new claim for the same type of benefits will not be accepted. However, individuals are free to submit any new evidence pertaining to their existing claim. The SSA will consider any new information and evidence you submit as well as any previous information in your claim.
If a claimant decides to not pursue further review on the pending claim, they can file a new application when they feel they have gathered the necessary information and evidence.
This rule can have a significant impact on some claims. If you have any questions about this rule change, please consult a disability attorney.

Legislation Targeting DUI Checkpoints
If you have ever been stopped at a DUI checkpoint, you may be left wondering just how effective they are at catching actual drunk drivers. You may also have contemplated whether these checkpoints are designed more to increase revenue from impoundment fees rather than find actual drunk drivers. If you have had these thoughts, you are not alone.
Democratic state Assemblyman Michael Allen of Santa Rosa has proposed legislation that would require checkpoints to be only on those roads with high rates of drunk driving arrests. The proposed ...

Ways to Avoid the Time and Expense of a California Probate Proceeding
Most people know that if they obtain a will their assets will be distributed according to their final wishes.
But the process of asking a court to actually make the distribution -- called probate -- can be lengthy and expensive. It's also a public proceeding in most states, so privacy concerns do exist for many. Probate starts when the executor of the estate, who is named in the will, files a petition to the Superior Court (in California) to be officially named by the court. Along with the petition ...
