The Summit Organization, Inc. will only use your name, address, phone number and email address when it becomes necessary to contact you about your training and support updates.  All your personal information contained in your record is never released to others without your written approval.
All information concerning payments directly to The Summit Organization, Inc. or through PayPal are kept secure without exception.  Our privacy policy has been in effect since 2001.
Our Training and Support Materials.  Our training and the materials we provide you to support your training--are based on the training we received by Social Security to become Social Security Disability Determination Examiners.  A few of the forms we use in our training, were SSA in house forms that are not available to the general public.  In order to reflect the best possible picture of your clients' disability--if they are truly disable, most of the training materials and documents have been modified to best reflect your clients' disability.  This decision is based on what we feel as former Social Security Disability Determination Examiners was needed to eliminate any future red flags, delays and possible unjustified denials of clients' cases by the Social Security Determination Examiners and Hearing and Appeals Judges--if they are truly disable.

To keep our students continually updated on any case development issues, we continually make announcement in our training web site.  This includes keeping you abreast of new updates in the Federal Register that will affect you and your client during your case development process.

your training is only the first step to becoming successful in this business or any business.  We          continually provide you professional support, to include marketing during and following your training when you need it.

Certification.  There are a few organizations that are currently stating that they provide "certification" on completion of their Social Security Advocate training.  As former Social Security Disability       Determination Examiners, this statement is un-true.  SSA does not certify any advocates.  They also do not endorse any advocate training.  At present when a student has successfully completed our training, they are given a certificate of completion--stating that they have been successfully trained by former Social Security Disability Determination Examiners who are also disability advocates.

There is only one official "certification certificate" that SSA currently has that we are aware of.

It is awarded by the Social Security Administration--when an individual has successfully completed their Social Security Disability Determination Examiners Job Training.  The official classroom        training--takes up to six months to complete.

SSA currently has a program that allows individuals who qualify, to take their 50-question test  It is         administrated by a third-party.  It gives the non-attorney advocate the opportunity to get paid directly by SSA--once their client is allowed as a result of their help.  For information on the project, visit the following web site:
