KEY FINDINGS
DDS Budget Allocation by State
DISCOVERY: Budget allocations are NATIONAL-ONLY in Congressional Justification
- SSA publishes total DDS work-years (13,555 in FY2025) and national budget authority
- NO per-state DDS budget allocations found in CJ-FY25
- Work assignments to states are operational/admin matters, not in CJ budget appendix
DDS Performance Data Located
- FY24 APR contains state-by-state disability determination performance metrics
- Metrics include: processing times, quality review rates, pending case backlogs
- State performance tables extracted to apr-fy24-extracted.md
FY2026 Congressional Justification
- Could not retrieve due to Firecrawl credit exhaustion
- Would require additional credits or alternative download method
EXTRACTION BLOCKERS
- FY26 CJ: Credits exhausted during processing (4 simultaneous PDFs)
- Direct HTTP downloads: Blocked by ssa.gov CDN (Access Denied)
- Resolution: Use Firecrawl scrape (successful) or obtain PDFs via SSA direct links with proxy
NEXT STEPS
- Parse state performance tables from apr-fy24-extracted.md into CSV
- If per-state DDS budget allocations needed: check SSA regional office financial reports (separate publication)
