STATE LEAD / LOCAL SOAR LEAD

You coordinate SOAR in your state or community. As the central point of contact, you connect caseworkers, agencies, and new providers, and you keep the local SOAR effort moving. Your organization’s staff process SSI/SSDI applications with the Social Security Administration using the SOAR model.

APPLICATION PROVIDER

You or your organization take intakes and process SSI/SSDI applications using the SOAR model. Caseworkers and community members would be directed to you to begin an application.

REFERRAL CONTACT

You or your organization do not process applications directly, but you can point people to the appropriate SOAR provider or SSA resource in your local area.

TRAINER / RESOURCE CONTRIBUTOR

You would like to contribute materials to the national website — trainings, infographics, documents, PowerPoints, PDFs, or SSA updates — for our Library & SOAR Online Tools.
