Winning With Limited Scope Remands – Track II [Day 1] (Presented by National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives)

When a disability case is remanded by a district court, the scope of the court's remand order can often determine the outcome upon remand. Although the Social Security Administration prefers to decide all issues de novo when conducting remand hearings, the agency's preference is not binding upon the courts. Using creative advocacy techniques, plaintiffs' attorneys can effectively "lock in" favorable findings from the original ALJ decision, thus preventing a subsequent ALJ from upsetting those findings on remand.

Key topics to be discussed:

• District court remand orders
• Social Security Administration remand procedures
• Advocacy strategies to preserve favorable findings

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
