About SSR 24-3p
Under SSR 24-3p (effective January 6, 2025), vocational experts must provide a reasonable explanation for their methodology and job numbers. Significant divergence between DOT (1991) and ORS data creates a reliability challenge opportunity. When a VE cites a DOT occupation with materially different physical demands or job numbers compared to current ORS data, the claimant's representative may request the ALJ require the VE to explain and support their testimony.
