Spencer Bishins is a lawyer who worked at the Social Security Administration Appeals Council for almost four years, reviewing thousands of disability decisions for compliance with SSA’s complex rules and procedures. He then worked at the hearing level for seven years, where he drafted almost 2,000 decisions for SSA Administrative Law Judges.

We’re discussing the nitty gritty of how the SSA is supposed to work, why it currently doesn’t do a great job in supporting disabled people in the United States, and what we can do to encourage a better system to take its place.
