Author Biography
Written by veteran broadcaster Angela Allen, who spent the first 20 years of her working life in private sector broadcast communications before starting her job as a claims rep with Social Security in 2005. She has two masters degrees from the University of Southern Indiana, was a member of AFGE and is a member of SAG! She left SSA in 2013 to publish this book (and now has many more books)! Angela writes and speaks on Social Security benefits (retirement, strategies, disability, etc.). A self-described Social Security benefits wonk, Angela strongly feels for front-line field office staff and ALSO for the public they serve. SSA field offices are increasingly strained by overwhelming workloads and dwindling personnel and resources. She'd like to see Congress authorize the hiring of at LEAST 15,000 new Social Security field office employees. And veterans would be PERFECT!
