Congressional Briefing
Friday, March 28, 2008
The Philadelphia Region held its first Congressional Briefing
for 2008 on Friday, March 28 th in the Regional Office at the Mid-Atlantic
Social Security Center. Based on previous briefing evaluation responses
and the push for Social Security Online Services at this time,
we chose to hold a two-issue briefing. The topics discussed were
the Office of Disability,
Adjudication and Review (ODAR) and Social
Security Online Services. We were pleased to have 22 Congressional
staffers in attendance from the Philadelphia Region.

presentation that detailed case workloads, staffing, and much more.
Also, we were fortunate to have several team members from the Philadelphia
Region Center for Disability Programs on hand to address questions
unrelated to ODAR jurisdiction, but connected to the disability
process. It proved to be a great networking opportunity for all
involved.
A PowerPoint presentation was customized for the Congressional
staffers depicting Social Security Online Services (www.socialsecurity.gov).
The training demonstrated to the Congressional staffers how they
might use the website to make their work easier and assist with
constituent issues. The training was well received and many staffers
were amazed at the amount of information that is on the SSA website.
ODAR representatives were present and provided information pertinent
to the staffers about the ODAR page.
The day went quickly and, from the evaluation responses, was a successful
briefing.
