The Disability Adjudication Managers Association (DAMA) was started by the disability adjudication component of the Social Security Administration (SSA) in the mid-1990s as an informal group of managers brought together by a desire for better communication and to share ideas, problems and solutions. We are formally acknowledged by SSA as the professional association of Disability Adjudication managers. We promote the interests of managers and supervisors from various Disability Adjudication components both in Headquarters and the field. DAMA is informed and consulted by the administration on matters impacting managers, supervisors, other SSA employees, and the public we serve. We participate in executive level meetings on Agency policy and can voice your concerns and advance your interests.

- improve managerial effectiveness in pursuing our public service mission;
- increase the efficiency and promote the professionalism of the Disability Adjudication (DA) managerial teams;
