Employability Evaluation Process

Our vocational experts can perform an assessment of the employability of a Social Security disability claimant using a four-part procedure consisting of document review, standardized diagnostic vocational interview, vocational testing and labor market research.MTBM’s evaluations are executed with a reliable, valid and accepted methodology (Daubert) in Social Security disability hearings. The claimant’s physical and/or emotional limitations are documented through the use of a residual functional capacity evaluation completed by a physician. Our professionals use this medical information and the claimant’s age, education, previous relevant work experience, aptitudes and transferable skills analysis as a part of the evaluation process. Our vocational expert will classify the physical demands of a claimant’s previous relevant work using the results of the employability evaluation to formulate an opinion as to the claimant’s ability for substantial, gainful work activity.

Hearing Testimony and Consultation

We work closely with the Social Security disability attorneysor non-attorney representatives to assist them in preparation for the administrative hearing. Consultation is available for hearing preparation and assistance in the cross-examination of the government’s impartial contract employability expert to achieve a favorable decision. Our vocational experts will be able to provide you with the information needed to document the employability issues in your case.
