Social Security Limits In Person Contact But Remains Operational During COVID 19 Crisis

Currently all Social Security offices are only offering phone services. This includes hearing offices, remote hearing sites and field offices. All hearing offices are closed to the public including claimant representatives or attorneys. However, employees are working remotely and continue to process claims for benefits. The Office of Hearings Operations is continuing critical work which includes, conducting hearings by telephone if agreed upon by claimants and their representatives. Other activities that will continue include: writing and issuing decisions, sending notices, developing records for hearing, screening cases for favorable decisions without hearings and scheduling hearings. Anyone who is currently scheduled for a hearing will be permitted to reschedule that hearing for a later time.

If you are scheduled for a hearing, do not go to the hearing site at the scheduled time, you should get a call from Social Security prior to the hearing to arrange either a telephone hearing or a continuance for your hearing at a later date. Please be aware that because Social Security employees are working from home, their phone numbers will appear on your caller ID as unknown, private or some other designation rather than Social Security or Office of Hearings Operations. You should answer all calls.

We are all struggling at this time and there will surely be delays in claims. However, it is clear to me and my staff that the Social Security Administration is working diligently to continue to provide service and process claims as best they can under the circumstances. Our office also remains open and available to answer questions and assist with claims.

     Trying to navigate Social Security on my own seemed futile.  It can be a long arduous process. My experience with Marva Match and her team was nothing short of outstanding! There were a lot of complexities involved with my case and they didn’t give up. I’m extremely grateful to Marva for advocating on my behalf.  I highly recommend Match Disability Law to anyone going through this process.

     My attorney at Match Disability approached my case with compassion. She showed genuine concern for me and my family. In the end she pushed my claim through and it was approved in about six weeks. This will not be the same scenario for many claimant's unfortunately, but my story is proof of the genuine care these attorneys have for their clients. Contacting Match Disability is one of the best decisions I've made.

     We have hired Match Disability Law on two different occasions for two separate cases.  Both times all of the staff were very helpful and courteous to us as we navigated the difficult Social Security Disability appeals process.  I know that it is because of their caring dedication to their clients that both of our cases were approved.  Marva and her staff do an excellent job at representing their clients.  We recommend them to anyone looking for help after receiving a denial for SS disability benefits.  I would give more stars if I could.  We are forever grateful for their firm.

     These guys were quite for you, they've been on my side for years. I've been denied and denied and denied and denied. And finally, we have won my Battle.

     I had a disappointing experience with Ms. Match. At the commencement of our experience together I had some conversations with some of her staff. They were professional, and courteous. However, when it came time for the hearing I had two or three phone conversations with Ms. Match in which she was short, rude and condescending - not what I would expect from a professional who has chosen to work with those in very desperate and vulnerable situations. My claim was ultimately denied following the hearing and I had received very little counsel in the nearly twenty or so months it took from applying to the hearing. I feel as though if I had received better counsel I could have won my case as my medical history clearly demonstrates a serious medical issue. I have given two stars instead of one because my dealings with her staff were positive.
