This text aims to bring clarity to medical and psychological health care providers so they better understand the importance of their role in disability determinations by familiarizing them with the benefits, limitations, and qualifications for Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income. Also useful for patient advocates, the authors here provide insights into the workings of Social Security, the language employed, the definitions adhered to, and the reliance on providers to respond to requests from Social Security and their patients to support their claims when warranted. Almost all medical and mental health professionals will need to interact with Social Security at some point, but will not understand the relevance or importance of their response. Much hangs on the clarity of treatment notes and opinions rendered by clinicians. Not only can their failure to respond to requests for Social Security, or to their patients in a disability case, obstruct their patients' access to benefits, it may also put a provider at risk of board censure or civil suit. 606 $aPolitics & government 606 $aSocial security$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aDisability insurance$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 615 7$aPolitics & government 615 0$aSocial security$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aDisability insurance$xLaw and legislation 676 $a344.73023 700 $aNoblitt$b James Randall$01808595 702 $aNoblitt$b Pamela Perskin 702 $aNoblitt$b James Randall 702 $aNoblitt$b Pamela Perskin 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973038703321 996 $aNavigating Social Security Disability Programs$94358922 997 $aUNINA
