Family and Social Service Administration －
Indianapolis,
Indiana
The Disability Claims Adjudicator reviews the disability application and determines the evidence needed to document medical and non-medical facts of record. Authorization is made by the Adjudicator for the purchase of medical records and special consultative examinations. The Adjudicator also makes the determination of eligibility for Presumptive Disability/Blindness payments to determine eligibility of early receipt of cash benefits. The adjudicator communicates the rights, responsibilities, and guidelines of the Social Security Disability Administration program to claimants, attorneys, medical community, and the public. A substantial amount of this communication is conducted by phone requiring excellent oral, auditory and communications skills. The Social Security Administration program references are researched to determine severity ratings, residual functional capacity assessments, vocational assessments, and other case transactions. The Adjudicator also analyzes medical data which requires the ability to quickly read documents in both paper and electronic format, many of which are scanned images of handwritten medical notes. The Adjudicator confers with clinical psychologists and physicians, assesses credibility of symptoms, assigns controlling weight of medical opinions, and drafts residual functional capacity assessments. The ability to use multiple computer programs, perform data entry, and multitask is essential
