This page will explain all, as you scroll down, but it is our understanding that the Social Security Administration requires lawyers to let the public know the following - so you can make an informed choice on whether to purchase in an attorney consultation or rely on SSA staff, which is cost-free. So we share this first:


Note: For those seeking official SSA Appointed Representation in a pending or current CLAIM for SSDI or SSI disability benefits, you do NOT need to pay for a non-Representational Legal Consultation. Simply fill out the Request for Representation Evaluation, here.
_______________________
Claimants with Pending SSDI/SSI Claim who have an Appointed Representative (Attorney or non-Attorney) are not Eligible for a Pre-Paid Consultation. However, if that official relationship has terminated, you may.
