Social Security Administration Once Again Achieved High Recognition

In the latest press release launched by the Social Security Administration (SSA) in its official website, they proudly announced that once again, the agency ranks as one among the top ten “Best Places to Work in the Federal Government”. SSA is at the sixth (6th) place of the top ten.

The recognition not only identifies the administration’s efficiency in providing quality workforce but also proves that they are committed to treating their employees as its most valuable asset.

Social Security Commissioner Michael J. Astrue expressed excitement for the recognition and said that he is very proud to be on the list again of the top ten “Best Places to Work in the Federal Government”. He is also proud of his employees who helped him achieve the appreciation that their administration had just received. He is very grateful as well that despite the obstacles that came their way through the years in service, his employees still bring out their best in supporting the administration.

The said recognition - awarded by the Partnership of Public service and American University’s Institute of the Study of Public Policy Implementation - was based on the results of the Official Personnel Management’s Federal Human Capital Survey. It is a government–wide assessment that determines the employees’ perception in the nature of their work.

The survey stimulates the agencies to establish an effective civilian workforce. It identifies the skills of both employer and employee in an agency and how they coordinate with each other to build an effective workforce. Of course to achieve this goal, employers must be a good leader and employees must be satisfied and dedicated to their jobs.

This is another great news from the Social security administration. Hopefully, in the next set of good news coming from the administration, maybe they can tackle about the beneficiaries and wage earners, particularly about the Social Security Disability. That will probably be the best good news everybody is waiting for.

Hypersensitivity Identified as a Cause of Permanent Disability

Hypersensitivity is an unusual reaction of the body to a substance which does not commonly have any negative effect on the same. Reactions may be harmful, having a feeling of discomfort or sometimes can be fatal.

In Madrid, Spain, the labor court declared a college professor who suffered from chronic fatigue and environmental and electromagnetic hypersensitivity permanently disabled.

The said verdict which gives the professor its hundred percent of his base salary is one of its kind. This serves as a model for future cases of people with similar condition.

The Social Security Disbility Assessment Team (E.V.I.), identified in its clinical diagnosis: chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and celiac diseases, environmental and hypersensitivity syndrome despite which released the patient’s incapacitation.

The criteria for granting of this degree by the National Institute provincial director was brought back into query by the Court Society of Madrid. It also recognizes the rights of an applicant to claim that it displays great challenges for the performance of their tasks “with proper level of professionalism and performance.”

Hypersensitivity, as most people know is simply an uncommon reaction of the body into something like electromagnetic substances. People don’t take it seriously since it source according to its own definition does not bring any harmful effect to the body. Sad to say, now there is a proven study that it is also one of factors that causes permanent disability.

Well, this case apparently being a pioneer is a great warning to people who are at a high risk of hypersensitivity. Though, qualified permanently disabled person may have a permanent disability claim, still, being capable to work on your own and have a healthy lifestyle is very a great blessing.
