I, Cheryle Coon, am very pleased to announce the formation of Refugee Disability Benefits of Oregon (RDBO), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization where I will continue to represent and advocate on behalf of disabled refugees in Oregon seeking Social Security disability benefits.
Through Refugee Disability Benefits of Oregon I will work closely with counselors, case managers, health care providers and the refugees they serve, to ensure that their applications for SSI and the required reports are done promptly and in a manner that assists them in their cases. Of course, I will also do everything we’ve been doing for clients here at my law firm, including legal representation at hearings and in appeals.
Until June 3, you can continue to reach me here at Swanson Thomas Coon and Newton. After June 3, please contact me at Refugee Disability Benefits of Oregon for representation and assistance for disabled refugees, by email at cheryl@rdbo.org or by phone at (971) 270-0755. My two associates, Melissa Haggerty and Scott Sell, will continue to offer legal representation here to disabled folks who are not refugees.
