Allsup explains important help representatives provide when SSDI benefits hit roadblocks

Belleville, Ill. -- Even after getting approval for Social Security disability benefits, people can run into hurdles before those funds start arriving, according to Allsup, which represents tens of thousands of people in the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) process each year.

"Problems and errors with dates, lump-sum payment amounts and regular monthly benefit amounts can occur once SSDI benefits have been approved," said Jim Allsup, CEO and founder of Allsup, which provides financial and healthcare-related services to people with severe or permanent disabilities that prevent them from working. "The issues create more headaches for the claimant, who already may have waited years for these benefits to begin.

"That's where a company like Allsup steps in--we are driven to ensure that the details of your case and that your SSDI benefits are accurate," Mr. Allsup said.

SSDI is a federally mandated insurance program overseen by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that operates separately from the retirement and SSI programs. SSDI provides monthly benefits to individuals who are under full retirement age (age 65 or older) and who can no longer work because of a disability (injury, illness or condition) that is expected to last for at least 12 months or is terminal. Individuals must have paid FICA taxes to be eligible. M
