  • We serve as a liaison between the Social Security Administration and Social Security Vocational Experts.
  • We work with the SSA on the BPA renewal, provisions and the contracted rate.
  • We have conducted research on the Vocational Expert Program and distributed it to SSA and key members of Congress.
  • We have established a communication channel between SSVE’s and SSA to resolve issues at a regional and national level.
  • We have developed practice guidelines/expectations for SSA-ODAR offices and SSVE’s.
  • We are working with a Government Relations firm to raise awareness of SSVE issues and to make sure our message is heard by key members of Congress and SSA.
