An Interesting Little Tidbit

There was a session at the NOSSCR Conference on the new requirements for attorneys and non-attorney representatives who are eligible for withholding of fees to register with Social Security so that they will receive 1099s showing those fees. We were told that 7,349 attorneys and non-attorney representatives had signed up since the program started a few months ago. It is mandatory only for cases newly taken on since the beginning of the year. I had little idea of what the universe was of attorneys and others who represent Social Security claimants.
