(a)If we identify a claim as one involving a high degree of probability that the individual is disabled, and we expect that the individual's allegations will be easily and quickly verified, we will refer the claim to the State agency for consideration under the quick disability determination process pursuant to this section and § 404.1620(c).
(b)If we refer a claim to the State agency for a quick disability determination, a designated quick disability determination examiner must do all of the following:
(1)Subject to the provisions in paragraph
(c)of this section, make the disability determination after consulting with a State agency medical or psychological consultant if the State agency disability examiner determines consultation is appropriate or if consultation is required under § 404.1526(c). The State agency may certify the disability determination forms to us without the signature of the medical or psychological consultant.
(2)Make the quick disability determination based only on the medical and nonmedical evidence in the file.
(3)Subject to the provisions in paragraph
(c)of this section, make the quick disability determination by applying the rules in subpart P of this part.
(c)If the quick disability determination examiner cannot make a determination that is fully favorable, or if there is an unresolved disagreement between the disability examiner and the medical or psychological consultant (except when a disability examiner makes the determination alone under § 404.1615(c)(3)), the State agency will adjudicate the claim using the regularly applicable procedures in this subpart.
