OGC Matters & Social Security Representation Ethics – Track II [Day 4] (Presented by National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives)

Social Security's OGC handles referrals from within Social Security related to possible violations of the representative code of conduct. This session will outline the standards and process, which can result in a "close out letter," sanctions, or disqualification. If you receive a letter from OGC, you should know this process and your rights. A negative outcome can shut down the practice of an appointed representative, but a positive outcome can end the matter—but only if addressed properly.

Key topics to be discussed:

• Social Security OGC representative conduct investigation process
• Possible outcomes including close out letters, sanctions, and disqualification
• Understanding rights and proper response to OGC referrals

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
