NOSSCR’s Annual Conference gathers Social Security disability representatives and advocates from across the nation. Industry leaders will provide insightful presentations on navigating the claims process, maximizing representatives’ chances of winning cases, running a firm/practice more effectively, finding prospective new clients, and more.

In addition to our jam-packed schedule of continuing education and networking events Wednesday through Saturday, new this year, Wednesday morning will feature two tailored tracks: one for newer practitioners (Social Security boot camp) and one for the team members of representatives – paralegals, legal assistants, case managers, and office managers.

While these sessions are geared toward newer practitioners and support staff, we know that all our members will find value in the content (all of which is continuing education-eligible), including an ethics credit and a look at business strategies to grow your bottom line. Conference registration includes these sessions, but we will open registration soon for those who want to attend (or who want to send associates or staff members to attend) only these one-day tracks.

Wednesday afternoon and all day Thursday and Friday will be packed with additional diverse continuing education options, including a look at the impact of AI, the importance of the representative’s well-being, and multiple ways to elevate your skills as an advocate.

Then we hope you’ll stick around on Saturday as we are hosting an Overpayments and Work Incentives Symposium (including three sessions for continuing education credit) to discuss the overpayment crisis, which was recently the subject of a Ways and Means hearing and story on 60 Minutes.

The Symposium will start at 9 am and conclude by 3:30 pm. This Symposium is also included in the cost of the general conference registration; however, we know it can be challenging to step away for a week, so if you can’t make it to the rest of the conference, we will soon offer registration for this Saturday-only Symposium so that you can earn continuing education credits while staying on the cutting edge of best practices for overpayments.

So whether this Symposium serves as an endcap to what we know will be an amazing conference experience, or as a standalone event for you or a colleague, we hope you will join us as we look for creative solutions and member involvement to solve the ongoing overpayment crisis.
