SOCIAL SECURITY IS STILL FUNCTIONING

We have had disability cases approved this week amid the Social Security office shut down and coronovirus panic.

The system is still functioning.

However, you have to work the process differently.  If you need to file a new disability claim, you have 2 options:

1.  Apply online at www.socialsecurity.gov

2.  Find a disability attorney/advocate to help you file.

If you have an appeal hearing scheduled, call the local Social Security office and try to set up a hearing by telephone.  This applies only to hearings that have already been scheduled with a date and time for the hearing.


Of course, if you have counsel, your representative will handle the details of your hearing for you.
