WALLACE & ASSOCIATES, INC.

Wallace & Associates, Inc. specializes in providing expert vocational rehabilitation testimony and analytical support to federal agencies, primarily serving as qualified vocational expert witnesses in Social Security Administration administrative hearings. Their core capability centers on delivering authoritative, evidence-based assessments of claimants’ functional capacities, job market viability, and vocational limitations in appeals of denied benefits. The firm’s technical expertise includes labor market analysis, occupational classification under the Dictionary of Occupational Titles and O*NET, functional capacity evaluations, and testimony preparation aligned with SSA’s Program Operations Manual System (POMS) and Social Security Rulings.
