Subject to appropriate federal funding, the State provides adequate space for personnel
responsible for making accurate and prompt disability determinations. Per 20 CFR 404.1623 , SSA funds 100% of the DDS facility costs. Space planning (new space, modifications,
or expansion of existing space) must be coordinated with SSA. Submit Request for Proposal
(RFP) documents or facility plans for approval to the SSA Regional Office (RO), Center
for Disability.
RO and Central Office (CO) approve all DDS moves.
SSA or its contractors provide specific requirements for electrical and computer wiring
specifications, or other general aspects of facility construction (e.g., security
requirements, etc.).
