ELEVATE disability advocates
IN 2023, 30,000 PEOPLE DIED WHILE WAITING FOR DISABILITY BENEFITS
In 2023, 2,604 initial applications were approved through the SOAR method, with decisions received in an average of 167 days and an impressive allowance rate of 66 percent. This starkly differs from the 38.6 percent initial allowance rate for all other adult applicants in 2023.
DISABILITY BENEFITS HELP INDIVIDUALS TRANSITION FROM HOMELESSNESS TO PERMANENT HOUSING.
ELEVATE utilizes the training method endorsed by SAMHSA, known as the SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) program. This method is specifically designed to enhance accessibility to disability income benefits provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA). It equips individuals with the necessary skills to assist eligible adults experiencing or at risk of homelessness, who contend with serious mental illness, medical impairments, and/or co-occurring substance use disorders.
