Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 245 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) whether the claimant is currently employed; (2) whether she has a severe impairment; (3) whether her impairment meets or equals one listed by the Secretary; (4) whether the claimant can perform her past work; and (5) whether the claimant is capable of performing any work in the national economy.”
79 later decisions quote this exact passage“[A] rule changing the law is retroactively applied to events prior to its promulgation only if, at the very least, Congress expressly authorized retroactive rulemaking and the agency clearly intended that the rule have retroactive effect. Bowen v. Georgetown Univ. Hosp., 488 U.S. 204, 208 , 109 S.Ct. 468, 471 , 102 L.Ed.2d 493 (1988). A rule simply clarifying an unsettled or confusing area of the law, on the other hand, does not change the law, but restates what the law according to the agency is and has always been: “It is no more retroactive in its operation than is a judicial determination construing and apply a statute to a case in. hand.” Manhattan General Equip. Co. v. Commissioner, 297 U.S. 129, 135 , 56 S.Ct. 397, 400 , 80 L.Ed. 528 (1936).”
