SSA Compassionate Allowances Initiative · POMS DI 23022.005
The Compassionate Allowances (CAL) program identifies medical conditions that obviously meet SSA's standard of disability. Cases involving a CAL-listed diagnosis are flagged for expedited processing — typically weeks instead of months at the initial determination level. The list is updated as new conditions are added; the platform's CAL data is refreshed quarterly alongside the SSA public-data sync.
