SOAR Webinar: SSA's Sequential Evaluation- Understanding Step 3 (The Listings) and Step 5 (The Grids); Wednesday, January 22, 2020, 3:00pm ET
Do you remember reading about SSA's 5-step Sequential Evaluation process when you were taking the SOAR Online Course? If it's been a while, or even if you recently completed the course, we encourage you to join us for a deeper look into both Step 3 (the Listings) and Step 5 (the "Grids").
Why a webinar about only these two steps in the 5-step process? Well, because these are the only two steps at which an applicant may be found disabled! While the course focuses on Step 3, "meeting the Listing," this webinar will provide guidance on how applicants may alternatively be found disabled at Step 5 by applying the appropriate "Grid rule." The Grid rules are based on the medical-vocational factors of age, education, and past relevant work experience.

You'll hear from a DDS representative and seasoned SOAR practitioners who will share guidance to deepen your understanding of the Listings and Grids. Also, SOAR practitioners will share their tips on how to reference the Listings and Grids in your Medical Summary Reports (MSRs).
Join us on Wednesday, January 22, 2020, at 3:00pm ET!
