About the Social Security Disability Resource Center:The SSDRC is published, edited, and maintained by Tim Moore, a former disability claims examiner for the social security administration's disability determination services (DDS), as well as a former caseworker with a background in many assistance programs, including medicaid for disabled adults. In addition to having experience within these individual programs, Tim Moore also possesses an extensive background in social security disability and SSI claimant representation, an area of federal administrative law that, in recent years, has become embattled as the number of claims have risen and the Social Security Administration has not been given adequate resources keep backlogs from rising. The goal of this site is to provide information about how the federal government's disability programs work, the idea being that qualified information may lead to better choices as to how to initiate and pursue claims and appeals, and potentially avoid time-consuming and costly mistakes. In many instances, knowing how claims are adjudicated, having insight into how to navigate the federal disability system, and being knowledgable about proper case preparation, particularly at the administrative law judge hearing level, may lead to faster decisions on cases and increased chances of winning. Tim Moore is also the author of My Disability Blog, a disability blog which is devoted to answering questions about social security disability and SSI, and has been interviewed by the New York Times in an article entitled The Disability Mess (also available in Word format at The Disability Mess.
