Technology and the Social Security Hearing: An Open Discussion

Event Description

Register Online by November 19 or at the Door Tuesday.  

Beverages will be provided. Don't forget your bag lunch!

This month’s brown bag session will be an open discussion of how technology plays a role at the hearing level. The good, the bad, and the future. If you did not get enough from last month’s October Tech month, now is your chance for more.

Some sub-issues for thought include:

1. SS hearings being conducted by video conference at the attorney's office so attorney and claimant do not need to go to ODAR for a hearing;
2. Last minute, unannounced changes by SSA from an in-person hearing to a video conference;
3. The debate between electing video conference hearings (because you get a hearing faster) vs. objecting to video conference hearings for the perceived advantages of an in-person hearing (and whether those perceived advantages are really that helpful);
4. Experiences of attorney-reps who use technology in unique ways or to prep for and attend hearings (e.g. iPads at hearings).

Join the Social Security Disability Law Section for a brown bag lunch to discuss various practice-related topics.  These roundtable brown bag discussions are informal.

Sarah Soucie Eyberg, Attorney and Co-Chair of the SSD Law Section
