Social Security Disability Committee

Join this Committee

Mission

To provide educational opportunities for experienced advocates; to promote effective communication between the Agency and claimant representatives; to foster camaraderie among members of the greater Columbus Social Security bar.

A Message from the Social Security Disability Committee Chairs

“Join us as we embark on the long-overdue organization of Columbus area Social Security disability practitioners! Modern Social Security practice is fast-changing. The coming year is certain to bring continued expansion of SSA's electronic practice tools and procedures, a host of new judges and experts appearing via VTC from around the country, and more changes at our Central Ohio hearing and district offices. We hope that this new committee will ease upcoming transitions and serve as a valuable forum for members to share information and education through monthly committee meetings, a ListServe for advocates, and social gatherings where we can foster friendships. Please let us know how we can make this new committee useful and productive for everyone!”
