Experience

Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR), Office of Appellate Operations (OAO), Soicial Security Administration (SSA), United States Federal Government

Have been working for the Social Security Administration of the United States (U.S.) Federal government since before my graduation from UMBC as a Social Insurance Representative, Supervisory Contact Representative, and Para-legal Specialist for almost 29 years in Baltimore, MD, Los Angeles, CA, Washington, D.C., and Falls Church, VA.

As a Social Insurance Specialist in the Los Angeles, CA and Washington D.C., district offices, I worked as an official Korean translator for these offices as well as for the San Francisco and Philadelphia Regional offices interpreting for Korean speaking claimants for coworkers.  I also translated various Korean official governmental documents and statements made in Korean for claims processing for about eight years from 1981 to 1989.  In this job, I had to do a great deal of community out-reach activities in the Los Angeles area giving speeches and presentations in Korean regarding various Social Security Administration services, programs, and benefits.

For the last 19 years, I have been working as a para-legal specialist in the court branch of the ODAR, reviewing and analyzing new court cases, requests for voluntary remand by the Office of General Council, cases remanded by the Federal Courts, and Administrative Law Judge’s decisions and recommended decisions after the court remand.  After reviews and analysis, I take action on individual cases by recommending appropriate actions to the Administrative Law Judges in the Appeals Council making certain that the actions recommended are in accordance with the established adjudiciary standards and decisional principles that govern the hearings and appeals process.  In doing so, I prepare analyses, decisions, orders, notices, and memoranda for the Appeals Council’s concurrence, both in writing and orally.
