Learn the fundamentals of social security law and how to determine if your client qualifies.
A successful and profitable Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplement Security Income (SSI) law practice involves efficiently handling administrative claims and handling claims at the federal court level. An attorney needs a working knowledge of the social security regulations, case law, and social security rulings, in addition to internal regulations included in the HALLEX and POMS. Like most areas of practice, an effective social security disability attorney needs expertise in the law and the nuts-and-bolts procedural issues necessary for an efficient and profitable office. This topic will help attorneys gain a broad view of everyday issues encountered in a social security disability law practice.
