Join us for an insightful program that will provide a timely update on the
evolving employability factors in disability adjudication. Since the
introduction of O*Net as a replacement for the “Dictionary of Occupational
Titles,” significant changes have occurred in this area of legal practice.
This session will explore the implications of this transition to a more
dynamic collection of occupation-related data and its broad impact on various
legal fields that rely on vocational information, including workers’
compensation, long-term disability (LTD), personal injury (PI) and state
employee retirement cases.
We are pleased to welcome Dr. Amy Vercillo, a renowned vocational expert who
regularly consults with courts across the commonwealth, particularly within
Social Security’s Office of Hearing Operations. As a professor at UMass Boston
and a specialist in her field, Dr. Vercillo will guide us through the proposed
changes to how Social Security analyzes job information and their potential
effects on adjudication processes.
Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of these critical
developments in disability law.
This program is offered both in person and as a webinar hosted using Zoom.
Registration is required by 10 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14, to participate
in this program. An email from MassBar Education will
be sent before the program.
