Founders Peter Siracuse and David Penrose built Benefit Representatives of America, Inc. on a foundation of Social Security Administration (SSA) experience and desire to provide comprehensive, personalized service. Together they bring over 55 years of experience focused exclusively on understanding and working with Social Security Disability (SSD) and Social Security Supplemental Income (SSI). But there are other professional Social Security representatives out there. So what sets Peter and David apart from the rest? Insider knowledge. Peter and David are former Social Security Administration employees with 25 years of combined insider experience. As prior SSA claims representatives they acquired an abundance of expertise in SSD laws and applications. This one-two punch of comprehensive knowledge on both sides of the desk gives their clients clear advantages over the rest. In other words, Peter and David know who to call to get the answers their clients need. They know what SSA employees are looking for in the disability claims. They know the exact administrative path claims follow inside the SSA. They know the precise information the appeals judge will want to see in the medical records. They possess the knowledge attainable to only those who have actually worked inside the SSA. In addition to their extensive experience, David and Peter are certified non-attorney representatives. This means they have passed a rigorous application and evaluation of their credentials and professional abilities. Only non-attorney representatives are subjected to background investigations of their professional fitness and must pass a thorough examination with a minimum score of 80 percent to be awarded certification. Insider experience has given Peter and David more than knowledge–it has given them compassion. While working in the SSA they watched applications hit dead-ends, costing the frustrated applicant incredible amounts of time. Benefit Representatives of America, Inc. was born out of Peter and David’s desire to offer personalized, compassionate representative service that maximized the benefits due to the applicant. Today, Benefit Representatives of America, Inc. is a full-service SSD and SSI representation agency. Benefit Representatives of America, Inc. will handle your paperwork as well as phone and in-office contacts with SSA and medical staff on your behalf. Peter and David’s experience and personalized, compassionate service will ensure you receive accurate information and the maximum benefits you are due.
