Social Security: Avoiding the Pitfalls for the St. Louis ARC (Martha C. Brown & T. Nikki Mitchell)

Martha C. Brown & T. Nikki Mitchell are presenting Social Security: Avoiding the Pitfalls for the St. Louis ARC. Social Security is a huge system that is hard to navigate! This session will talk about handling the application process, which will include how to present your information to the eligibility worker. The speakers will explain how certain situations can be handled to assure success when Social Security makes inquiries about the recipient’s assets, work, etc. We will also touch on the difference between a parent applying for their minor child vs. applying for their child over 18, the appeal process, how to handle an overpayment notice, and how a child accrues the necessary work history to get SSDI on their own record between the ages of 21 and 32.
