February 2013 Board Meeting
02/13/2013
In the morning, the Board met with Judges Debra Bice and Patricia Jonas from the Social Security Administration (SSA), as well as Professor Jeffrey Lubbers from American University. This fact-finding session focused on the topic of the SSA government representative pilot program that took place in the early 1980s, as well as the potential for revisiting this program as part of the current hearing process. Our guests shared their overall experience with the pilot program and expressed their own opinions on having a government representative present at Social Security hearings.
