    Case No. 4:17-CV-02178 JAR (E.D. Mo. Sep. 11, 2018)

    First, the ALJ determines whether the child currently has any severe impairments. 20 C.F.R. § 416.994a(b)(3); A.J.W. v. Berryhill, No. 16-CV-2651 (SRN/LIB), 2017 WL 3668752, at *2 (D. Minn. July 5, 2017), report and recommendation adopted, No. 16-CV-2651 (SRN/LIB), 2017 WL 3208460 (D. Minn. July 28, 2017). If a child's impairment is so "slight" that it causes no more than minimal functional limitations, then the child does not have a "severe" impairment and is not disabled. Oberts ex rel. Oberts v. Halter, 134 F. Supp. 2d 1074, 1082 (E.D. Mo. 2001); 20 C.F.R. § 416.924(c). If, however, it is determined that the child's impairment is severe, the analysis moves to the second part of the additional analysis, and the ALJ determines whether the child's impairment or combination of impairments meets or medically equals the severity of any impairment listed in 20 CFR Part 404, subpart P, Appendix 1. 20 C.F.R. § 416.994a(b)(3). If so, the ALJ must find that disability continues.
