Allsup Delivers Fast, No-Cost SSDI Assessment and Online Application with empower by Allsup®
Belleville, Illinois (PRWEB) July 25, 2016 -- For the first time, people with disabilities have a no-cost online option for assessing their potential eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits in only minutes. With empower by Allsup®, those who successfully complete the assessment can move immediately into the Allsup-designed web-based tool and get started on their Social Security disability application.
Created by the nation’s leading provider of SSDI representation services, empower by Allsup is the first dual purpose online tool for Social Security disability benefits, including return-to-work assistance for those who eventually medically recover. The software combines more than 32 years of Allsup’s SSDI experience with a user friendly question and answer format, helpful tips and audio and video guidance. Those who choose Allsup as their representative to assist with a Social Security disability application typically have a 50 percent higher success rate with their initial claim compared to the national rate at Social Security.
“empower by Allsup is a better, faster and more efficient way for people with severe disabilities to navigate the complex SSDI eligibility and application process, and improve their chances of getting their benefits early,” said company CEO and founder Jim Allsup.
“In addition to receiving your benefits as quickly as possible with Allsup as your disability representative, we will assist you with the SSA’s return-to-work program, and explain how to keep that option open if you medically recover,” said Mr. Allsup.
To qualify for SSDI benefits, individuals must have paid FICA payroll taxes, typically worked five out of the last 10 years, and have a severe physical or mental disability that is expected to last for more than 12 months or is terminal. They must be unable to work and under full retirement age (65-67). For more information, visit Allsup.com.
With empower by Allsup, individuals can answer easy to understand questions on a secure online site from their homes and learn almost immediately if they are probably eligible for benefits. This means avoiding long waits for telephone interviews or long lines at Social Security offices. In addition, applicants don’t have to guess at their eligibility and wait months, after filing an application with the SSA, to find out that they don’t quality for Social Security disability benefits.
