IARP SSVE Compensation and Availability Survey
Former and current SSVE's are invited to take part in a survey regarding Social Security Vocational Experts Compensation and Availability. Your participation in this survey will help rehabilitation professionals, SSA administrators, legislators and other interested parties understand more about how SSVE compensation affects SSVE's availability for hearings at the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review.
All SSVE's who have a BPA with SSA currently, or have had one in the past five years are being asked to participate in this project.
Representatives from the IARP-SSVE section meet with SSA officials and the Office of the Inspector General in July 2009 to discuss the SSVE fee schedule. The Deputy Commissioner and the Office of the Inspector General asked IARP-SSVE members to provide feedback regarding the current SSVE fee schedule, market rates for Vocational Expert Services and what other federal agencies compensate Vocational Experts.
Your participation will involve approximately 10-15 minutes of your time to complete this online survey. Your name and contact information will not be included on the report and will remain anonymous. There is opportunity for you to add additional comments for specific questions as well as at the end of the survey should you think of other information that should also be included. The results of the survey will be posted on the IARP website once completed.
We would request that you complete the survey by September 14, 2009.
