SSA May Require Attorneys To Use On-Line Filing

According to a letter from the National Council of Social Security Management Associations (NCSSMA), an association of Social Security management personnel, Social Security is considering a proposal to require what is described as "large, for-profit third party filers", which would be lawyers representing Social Security claimants, to use Social Security's electronic form 3368, a lengthy form required for disability benefits claims. Social Security is having trouble persuading lawyers or claimants to use the on-line form voluntarily, largely because the form is not considered user-friendly. NCSSMA strongly supports making the online form mandatory.
