Description

 

You may recall the 60 Minutes Episode from October, 2013, where Attorney Eric Conn of Prestonsburg, Kentucky was the subject of a piece on alleged disability claims fraud. In mid-2015 SSA commenced a mass redetermination of claimants who had been approved for disability between 2007 and 2011. NOSSCR sent out a call for volunteers to represent over 1000 claimants whose benefits were put at risk. Hundreds of hearings have been held and it appears that about half of these claimants will have their entitlement to benefits retroactively voided. There are going to be hundreds of cases in Eastern Kentucky that will be ready for appeal to federal court, a number far beyond the ability of local counsel to handle. These claimants and their local counsel are looking for appellate lawyers.  While the administrative hearings have been pro bono fees may be available for federal court appeals.

The cases present unique issues arising out of the process used in these redeterminations, ranging from due process challenges to Administrative Procedure Act violations to violations of various regulatory requirements of disability adjudications.

This session will offer

  • A summary of the facts of the investigations and other process leading up to these redeterminations;

  • An overview of the arguments pertinent to these federal court appeals;

  • A discussion of procedural considerations in these appeals;

  • A briefing on the status of pending litigation
