Who certifies Advocates?

As former Social Security disability determination examiners and currently disability advocates - we can say with authority, that the Social Security Administration does not certify anyone as a
non-attorney Social Security disability advocate, after they have taken and passed the SSA non-attorney test for direct payment.

Equally important is that anyone wanting to work as a Social Security disability advocate, is not required to take and pass the SSA non-attorney test.  For those who plan on taking the SSA             non-attorney test - our training, along with our "non-attorney test guide" will help prepare you for the test.

And finally, the only "certification certificate" we are aware of, is the one awarded by SSA to people who were trained by SSA, to become Social Security disability determination examiners.
Can an Examiner teach me disability advocacy?
Yes - hands down.  Why?  For two very important reasons:
1. As former Social Security disability examiners, we were trained to review, evaluate and adjudicate the chain of evidence in all the Social Security cases we were charged with making a determination on.  As such, we completely understand what personal, physical, mental and vocational evidence is required to make a clients case creditable.
2. And combining our years of successfully experience as Social Security disability advocates to the above, only adds to the quality of training we are providing.
How do I get customers? 

Our marketing training continues to prove successful, because it uses Education-Based Marketing principles, rather than Selling-Based Marketing principles.  In essence, you can provide your potential client…

· With the information they need and want with out the sales pitch;
· And more important, you are immediately seen as a professional and educator that can be trusted--not a sales person who is just interested is making the sale.

Our marketing training prepares and qualifies the student with the tools needed to secure and win the type of cases (people filing for the first time) that most attorneys will not take on.  In addition, the student is trained to market to those individuals who need help with reconsideration and appeals as well. 

As far as leads and referrals - the student is provided with specific marketing tools that are needed to contact organizations that work with and help the disabled in their pursuit of needed services.  Organizations like doctors, hospitals and charity organizations.

Will you be competing with attorneys for business?
Most attorneys do not take on cases from people filing for Social Security disability for the first time.  But it's possible that you will be competing for clients that need help with filing for reconsideration and appeals.
As such, our training will give you the tools that will set you apart from how attorneys handle cases.  In essence, you will be able to show your prospective client's, how you can move their case much faster through the SSA system - with a positive result at the end.

How long does it take to get paid on a case?  
Each case is different.  As such, the average is from 30 to 60 days to get paid on most cases.  Why?  Because you will be able to answer all the questions that are likely to be ask by the SSA examiner concerning your client's case - before your client officially files.  Where by the case will not be delayed or denied at the end.  Click below to continue on next page.
