Program Summary

While proffers may be an overlooked part of the representation process at the hearing level for Social Security Disability claims, they exist as a temperature reading of an ALJ before a decision is actually written. By taking on this perspective, the presentation discusses several methods of still advocating for an award. Whether it be utilizing persuasive techniques surrounding the unique procedural posture of the case when a proffer is received or preserving the case as best as possible for future steps in the process, the presentation highlights why proffers should be an integral part to representing clients at the hearing level.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Using Proffers as Insight into ALJ Positioning and Case Posture
  • Advocacy Strategies for Seeking a Favorable Outcome at the Proffer Stage
  • Preserving Issues and Building the Record for Appeals Through Proffer Responses
