BELLEVILLE, Ill., July 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allsup, the nation’s leading disability representation firm, today announced it is celebrating its 400,000th client approval in its 40th anniversary year. The organization marks a historic milestone in helping hundreds of thousands of former workers with disabilities successfully navigate the complex and lengthy Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) process.
“We’ve been honored to help so many people navigate this arduous process characterized by complex rules, extensive paperwork and waiting periods of up to three years on appeal,” said Chairman, Founder and CEO Jim Allsup. “Our clients have contributed to the SSDI system throughout their working lives and deserve to receive the benefits they’ve earned. Allsup and our disability experts are committed to simplifying and enhancing the experience for our clients every step of the way.”
For over 40 years, Allsup has addressed the needs of Americans with disabilities who are unable to work or who need support returning to work while on disability. Today, Allsup is at the forefront of specialized SSDI assistance with additional exclusive services such as Disability Financial SolutionsĀ®, especially for those working their way through the SSDI application process. Allsup offers assistance in areas such as health insurance, debt relief, and household expenses, which are important first steps toward financial and medical stability. As wait times at the Social Security Administration (SSA) grow longer, Allsup is prioritizing services to help individuals find financial relief as the rising cost of living reshapes the economy. Allsup has higher approval rates at the initial application, reconsideration, and hearing levels than the national average. Individuals whose applications are approved avoid lengthy hearings and the national wait times of approximately one year at the hearing level across the United States.
Customers benefit from utilizing Empower by AllsupĀ®, which is changing the way SSDI applications are secured. It is an automated, web-based software platform that seamlessly guides claimants through the complex disability determination process at all levels: application, appeal, denial, and award. Empower can be used on a desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile device. This accessibility allows individuals across the country to receive expert assistance regardless of location or device, making the process of applying for SSDI benefits more efficient and less stressful.
Through Empowerment, individuals can initiate an online application with Allsup on their behalf, which eliminates the worry of completing government paperwork and provides a simpler, more user-friendly experience. They also receive education on return-to-work incentives available to them after they receive SSDI benefits or their health condition stabilizes or improves. Allsup Employment Services, a subsidiary of Allsup LLC, is a Social Security Administration-licensed employment network providing services through the SSA’s Ticket to Work program.
With 40 years of service and a proven track record of benefit approvals for 400,000 clients, Allsup is committed to changing lives through expert disability representation, innovative financial solutions and comprehensive support services to ensure individuals with disabilities receive the benefits they have earned and feel supported every step of the way.
