JOSE' L. CHAPARRO, MA, CRC, INC.

JOSE’ L. CHAPARRO, MA, CRC, INC. specializes in providing expert vocational rehabilitation testimony and consultation services to support administrative hearings before Administrative Law Judges for the Social Security Administration. The contractor delivers highly specialized vocational expert witness services, analyzing claimants’ functional capacities, labor market conditions, and occupational suitability to assist in adjudicating disability benefit appeals. Their technical expertise lies in vocational assessment methodologies, labor market analysis, functional capacity evaluations, and the application of the Dictionary of Occupational Titles and Selected Characteristics of Occupations to SSA’s disability determination framework. A key differentiator is their deep familiarity with SSA’s hearing procedures and the nuanced interpretation of medical-vocational guidelines under 20 CFR Part 404, ensuring testimony is both scientifically grounded and legally defensible. The contractor’s primary and only documented agency relationship is with the Social Security Administration, where they serve as a contracted vocational expert witness in appeals involving the denial of Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income benefits. This engagement reflects a focused, mission-critical role in supporting SSA’s adjudicative process through expert testimony that informs ALJ decisions on work capability and residual functional capacity. The core industry focus is Vocational Rehabilitation Services (NAICS 624310), which in practice means delivering professional assessments and expert opinions that bridge clinical disability data with labor market realities. The contractor’s market positioning is narrow but highly specialized, serving a critical niche within federal disability adjudication where vocational expertise directly impacts benefit determinations. The entity is structured as a small business (2L) and is headquartered in Clovis, California. While no federal certifications are listed, the principal’s credentials include a Master’s degree and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor designation, underscoring professional qualifications in rehabilitation practice. The company maintains a targeted, geographically anchored presence in support of federal disability programs.
