Even though we thought enough of the phrases that we registered them as service marks, not one client [...]

Our Office Changes with the Times

2016-01-12T19:16:36+00:00

We just returned from the semi-annual NOSSCR meeting, the National Organization of Social Security Claimant's Representatives. I used to be awed at these meeting by how much people knew.

Charity Ride to Benefit the Disabled Changed Lives

2015-12-22T16:55:17+00:00

There are occasions in everyone's life where everything is so positive you don't want the moment to end. Your team wins the championship, graduation, a great concert or unforgettable party. As a Yankee fan I've had my share. As a Bruce Springsteen fanatic, every show is like that. As a triathlete, little compares with the [...]

Social Security Disability Benefits—Part 1 of 3: When Your Disability is Temporary

2015-11-03T15:58:24+00:00

A common misconception among some Social Security claimants is that in order to receive benefits one must be "permanently disabled." Conversely, some recipients believe that once they are deemed "disabled" by the Social Security Administration, they are considered "permanently disabled." While many medical conditions may very well be permanent, a determination by the Administration does [...]

The Long Term Disability Appeals Process is Inherently Unfair

2015-08-25T14:33:48+00:00

It has always bothered me that the appeal of a denial of Long Term Disability (LTD) benefits under a group plan is made to the same insurance company who not only has just denied the claim, but also who makes the payments. Despite this inherent conflict of interest, the ERISA statute and its effectuating Regulations [...]
