The Reagan Administration is preparing legislation to create a special court for the thousands of Social Security disputes that now go through the federal court system, a Justice Department spokesman said. The Justice and Health and Human Services departments prepared the measure, now being readied by the Office of Management and Budget for submission to Congress, the spokesman said. The regular courts have been deluged with the cases of people who claim that they have been improperly denied Social Security or retirement benefits.
