National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR)

National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR) is a non-profit association established in 1979, comprising over 4,000 attorneys, non-attorney representatives, and paralegals who advocate for individuals seeking Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. NOSSCR is dedicated to providing high-quality representation for claimants, ensuring a fair adjudication process, and advocating for beneficial changes in disability determination and adjudication. The organization offers comprehensive continuing legal education through semi-annual conferences featuring lectures and classes, and provides members with access to important decisions and other useful materials. NOSSCR actively engages in public policy advocacy, regularly commenting on proposed changes in federal disability regulations and providing testimony to Congress on related matters. The organization also recognizes outstanding service to the disabled community through the Eileen Sweeney Distinguished Service Award, honoring individuals whose contributions have significantly improved advocacy for Social Security claimants or the Social Security adjudicatory process.
