BILLING CODE P 

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION 

[Docket No. SSA–2020–0018] 

Social Security Ruling 22–2p; Titles II 

and XVI: Evaluation of Claims 

Involving the Issue of Similar Fault in 

the Providing of Evidence 

AGENCY: Social Security Administration. 

ACTION: Notice of Social Security Ruling 

(SSR). 

SUMMARY: We are providing notice of 

SSR 22–2p. This ruling rescinds and 

replaces SSR 16–2p and explains when 

we may find that there is a reason to 

believe that similar fault was involved 

in the providing of evidence to us in 

support of a claim under titles II or XVI 

of the Social Security Act (Act). We are 

revising the evidentiary standard for 

similar fault from a ‘‘preponderance of 

the evidence’’ to ‘‘reason to believe’’ to 

align more closely with the standard 

provided in the Act. We are also 

incorporating into this ruling a 

procedure that we currently have in 

other subregulatory instructions. The 

procedure provides that, before we 

disregard evidence under the Act at the 

hearings level of our administrative 

review process, we will consider the 

individual’s objection to the 

disregarding of that evidence. We expect 

that the procedures we follow under 

this ruling will allow us to implement 

relevant sections of the Act in a manner 

consistent with the Act and principles 

of constitutional due process. 

DATES: We will apply this notice on May 

17, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Although 

5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1) and (a)(2) do not 

require us to publish this SSR, we are 

publishing it in accordance with 20 CFR 

402.35(b)(1). SSRs do not have the same 

force and effect as statutes or 

regulations, but they are binding on all 

components of the Social Security 

Administration. 20 CFR 402.35(b)(1). 

We use SSRs to make available to the 

public precedential decisions relating to 

the Federal old-age, survivors, 

disability, supplemental security 

income, and special veterans benefits 

programs. We may base SSRs on 

determinations or decisions made in our 

administrative review process, Federal 

court decisions, decisions of our 

Commissioner, opinions from our Office 

of the General Counsel, or other 

interpretations of law and regulations. 

This SSR will remain in effect until 

we publish a notice in the Federal 

Register that rescinds it, or we publish 

a new SSR that replaces or modifies it.
