There are a number of advantages for state and county governments and individual recipients to implementing disability screening and application services for TANF and General Assistance caseloads. Among these:
Founded by a former SSA district manager, PCG’s Claims Processing Center of Excellence unit has an ‘insider’s view’ of the Social Security Disability process. We approach each project as a partner with SSA and the State Disability Determination Services (DDS) rather than an adversary and we develop close and effective working relationships in all of our contracts.
Our comprehensive, hands-on, and full representation package of services takes into consideration the unique needs of the clientele in relation to the needs of the state. Services include:
We allow state and county disability claiming programs to achieve the highest rate of success in the shortest time frames. We actively pursue the maximum number of claims available, focusing intensively on the initial level of adjudication. We also provide full-service representation of our clients throughout the process, including actively seeking out the necessary medical, vocational, and functional documentation to build the strongest possible case for allowance of all our claims.
PCG Human Services SSI/SSDI Eligibility and Enrollment Services division, a third party, non-representation business unit, has been offering disability benefits services since 1989, with several thousand SSI/SSDI applications filed annually.
