The CIVICO Difference

There’s more than one way to get help with a disability claim. Here’s how working with CIVICO is different.

A Law Firm

One of many practice areas

  • Disability is often one department among many.
  • Your case may be handled by different staff along the way.
  • You may not meet your representative until close to your hearing.
  • Bar admission does not require any study of Social Security disability law, so an attorney may take these cases without having trained in this area.

CIVICO

Disability is all we do

  • Social Security disability is the entire practice.
  • The same representative handles your claim from start to finish.
  • You work directly with that person the whole way by phone, video, or in person.
  • Represents you from your initial application through your hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.
  • Qualified by examination specifically on Social Security disability law and procedure, with continuing education required in this field.

The fee is set and capped by federal law, and it’s the same for attorneys and non-attorney representatives. Choosing CIVICO doesn’t cost you more or less. It changes who handles your case.

How CIVICO Works

Getting help is simpler than you might think. Three steps, one representative, and no cost unless you win.

  1. 1

    Tell us about your situation

    Share what’s going on, and we’ll tell you honestly where you stand.

  2. 2

    We build and file your case

    Your representative organizes your medical records, prepares your paperwork, and makes sure everything is filed correctly, tracking every Social Security deadline along the way.

  3. 3

    We stand with you to a decision

    From reconsideration through your hearing, the same person guides your claim and represents you before the judge, until you have an answer.

Disability Representation At Every Stage

From your very first application through reconsideration and your hearing, CIVICO handles each step of the Social Security disability process with you.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)

CIVICO can help you prepare and file your initial SSDI application accurately the first time, reducing delays and avoidable denials.

Denials & Reconsideration

Meet Your Representative

One Credentialed Advocate, From Your First Call Through Your Hearing

Your CIVICO Representative · EDPNA

CIVICO is led by an EDPNA representative who has passed the Social Security Administration’s qualification exam and met its experience and background requirements to represent disability claimants before the SSA. Your representative also earned a Juris Doctor (JD) degree, providing a thorough understanding of the laws, regulations, and administrative procedures that govern Social Security disability claims. While Civico is not a law firm, your representative’s legal education helps make the Social Security disability process easier to understand. In proceedings before the Social Security Administration, qualified non-attorney representatives like Civico are authorized to perform many of the same functions as attorneys preparing your case, submitting evidence, and representing you at your hearing.

Why People Trust CIVICO

Dedicated representatives, clear answers, and no fee unless you win. Here is what you can count on from the very first conversation.

An authorized representative

Your case is handled by an Eligible for Direct Payment (EDPNA) representative who passed the Social Security Administration’s exam and background standards to represent claimants.

No fee unless you win

You pay nothing up front. Fees are set and capped by the SSA and are only owed if your claim is approved, so our interests stay aligned with yours.

One dedicated representative

You work with the same person by name from your first application through reconsideration and your hearing. No call center, no being passed around.

Plain-language updates

We translate Social Security’s letters and deadlines into clear next steps, and keep you informed at every stage so nothing falls through the cracks.

What Your CIVICO Representative Handles For You

With CIVICO, you get someone who:

  • Stays with your case from the application through reconsideration and hearing.
  • Serves as your single point of contact, so you always know who to call.
  • Works with you by phone and video, so you never have to travel to an office.
  • Prepares you for your hearing and represents you before the judge.
