Carolyn W. Colvin Named Acting Commissioner Of The SSA

The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced this month that Carolyn W. Colvin has become its acting commissioner.

Colvin takes over for Michael J. Astrue, who was nominated as the SSA commissioner by former President George W. Bush in 2007.

Colvin will serve as acting commissioner until President Barack Obama nominates a replacement, who will serve a six-year term.

Prior to becoming acting commissioner, Colvin served as the SSA’s deputy commissioner. In addition to her role as the acting commissioner, Colvin will serve as a trustee to the Social Security Board of Trustees.

Whomever Obama decided to nominate as his next commissioner is going to have tremendous power, as the number of people collecting Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits nationwide hit 8.8 million in December 2012.

If you have questions about applying or qualifying for SSDI, contact a Tulsa Social Security disability attorney for more information about your rights. We offer free evaluations of your case; you may reach us by phone at (918) 265-1404.

    I didn't think there was a caring professional considerate attorney firm on the planet, but Troutman & Troutman proved me wrong. From the receptionist to the legal assistance to the attorney and more they were exceptional people.

    They did a fantastic job getting everything gathered up and getting the trial done as quickly as possible. Anytime I had a question they were patient and help me understand what was going on. Especially Christy and Charlie were great.

    - Michael M.

    Steve Troutman was able to get my short-term and long-term disability for me. Then Erin another lawyer for their firm got my Social security disability for me. Great people.

    - Billy S.

    Mr. Troutman walked me through the entire process. Heather was available each time I called, answered all my crazy questions, and helped me fill out forms along the way. I was never treated like I was wasting time.

    Erin and Keith were fabulous! They were compassionate, helpful, and very responsive! They made the process very smooth and painless every step of the way.
