Description
ASSIST is a 501(c)3 non-profit who work with people who are often homeless and/or living in poverty, assisting them in getting their Social Security benefits. The individual application representation is different than most others as they are extremely proactive. Early claim intervention is the key to developing a thoroughly documented application that will dramatically increase the chances of a favorable decision at the earliest stage of the process.
Advocates assist in gathering medical and other pertinent documentation, help claimants with their application(s) from the very beginning, file all applications and appeals on-line for better tracking, correspond with claimants’ doctors, take their clients to disability related appointments, and try to help the Social Security Administration locate missing evidence.
