Social Security has issued Ruling 24-3p, entitled: Titles II and XVI: Use of Occupational Information and Vocational Specialist and Vocational Expert Evidence in Disability Determinations and Decisions. The Ruling became effective January 6, 2025.

The new Ruling rescinds and replaces Ruling 00-4p. The new Ruling follows two emergency messages from last year, addressing certain outdated occupations in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles.
