Denial of Supplemental Security Income Benefits Affirmed

In Wilburn v. Astrue, No. 09-3564, an action challenging the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) denial of Supplemental Security Income benefits to plaintiff, the court affirmed summary judgment for defendant where 1) the SSA did not violate its own regulations by failing to provide advance notice of the substitution of one ALJ for another; and 2) the SSA’s notice adequately apprised plaintiff of the pending hearing and afforded her the opportunity to present her objections.
