IN-SERVICE TRAINING

Social Security Disability

If you or your organization is interested in learning more about the social security disability process, veterans' disability process, or the railroad retirement disability process, we are available to conduct in-service seminars tailored to the needs of your organization. We conduct such in-services free of charge to any professional group or organization and any charitable organization located in western Washington. Please contact our office to make arrangements for an in-service seminar.

Below please find a list of topics covered during a typical Social Security Disability in-service seminar:

• Learn about the ten biggest mistakes claimants makein applying for disability benefits from Social Security.
• Social Security has created many new incentives for people on disability to return to work. Learn the advantages and pitfalls of this new program.
• Social Security is undergoing one of its periodic reorganizations that create months if not years of chaos for claimants. Learn what’s going on, and what to expect when a claim is filed.
• Did you know that people receiving workers compensation, long term disability payments or VA benefits for disability may also be eligible for Social Security disability payments? Learn the ins and outs of this.
• Do you know about the “closed period” of disability? If you know a claimant who has been disabled for more than twelve months, but is now back at work, there might be eligibility for benefits for that past period. There are also several dramatic changes too in whether work is allowed during the application period itself.
• More than ever, it is important to let us review your clients claims to determine whether there might be old claims that can be reopened This can make a difference of thousands of dollars to your clients. Please let us know how we can help you serve your clients, and educate your staff.
