Update on Immigration issues for Social Security attorneys
Last weekend I spoke at a conference for Social Security attorneys along with my colleague, David Wright. Our talk was about immigration issues that arise when representing applicants for SSI and/or SSDI. We gave examples from our own cases and discussed issues such as refugees applying for SSI, temporary residents applying for SSDI and the pitfalls that can occur when permanent residents apply for disability. There have been some recent changes to eligibility for SSI by certain groups of immigrants and we highlighted those changes.
You may find a copy of our written materials on my blog here.
Attorneys were interested in our presentation and now know some of the questions they should ask their clients before taking on representation.
