Index to Chapter III

INDEX TO CHAPTER III--SOCIAL SECURITY ACQUIESCENCE RULINGS

    EDITORIAL NOTE: This listing is provided for information purposes 
only. It is compiled and kept up-to-date by the Social Security 
Administration.
    This listing contains all Acquiescence Rulings (ARs) published in 
the Federal Register under the requirements of 20 CFR 402.35(b)(2) 
during the period from January 11, 1990, through April 1, 2012. The 
listing includes the AR number, title, publication date and the Federal 
Register reference number. (The parenthetical number that follows each 
AR number refers to the United States judicial circuit involved.) This 
notice also lists ARs that were rescinded during this period. In 
addition, SSA has

[[Page 18291]]

included Federal Register references for three prior cumulative AR 
listing notices.
    SSA believes this publication will assist individuals in finding 
ARs.
    The CFR may not state the circuitwide standard in effect when SSA 
has determined that the holding in a decision of a United States Court 
of Appeals is at variance with SSA's national interpretation.
