Professional Relations Department
The goal of our Professional Relations Unit is to enlighten the medical, legal, disability advocacy organizations, military/veterans, and educational communities about the Social Security Disability Programs. The Professional Relations Officers (PROs) make informational presentations to professional health care and school communities about Social Security’s need for timely, accurate, and complete medical information. PROs educate doctors, hospital/medical records company staff, and other health care professionals about how information submitted is used in evaluating Social Security disability claims. They also recruit, train, and manage over 200 health care professionals statewide in performing Consultative Medical and Psychological Examinations as well as Speech/Language Evaluations.
