The Social Security Law Group Unveils Change in Corporate Structure

Social Security Advocates for the Disabled® takes the lead in the SSLG family of companies

After proudly serving the long-term disability insurance industry for 15 years, Attorneys Ann Marie Beaudoin and Victor Arruda, Managing Partners of The Social Security Law Group (SSLG) are pleased to announce that, effective January 1, 2011, SSLG became the captive affiliate of Social Security Advocates for the Disabled®, LLC (SSAD).

The change will allow the organization to expand its reach and give more flexibility in its non-legal business operations including Benefit Integration Management Services® (BIMS), which became a stand-alone subsidiary of SSAD.

SSAD, led by Ms. Beaudoin as Chief Executive, will soon be certified by the Massachusetts State Office of Minority and Women Owned Business Assistance (SOWMBA) as a Woman Owned Business. Mr. Arruda will serve as President of SSAD and SSLG, the largest and longest standing, independently owned, all-attorney advocacy company in the LTD industry; SSLG will continue to operate without interruption.

According to Ms. Beaudoin “We are excited about our new organizational structure and how it will allow us to better serve our clients and customers. Our employees remain committed to consistently outperforming our three key metrics while providing the highest level of customer service in the industry. Through this change we intend to continue this commitment. We look forward to a very bright future!”
