Benefits of SSI/SSDI Enrollment

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:

Benefits of  SSI/SSDI Enrollment of your TANF/GA populations:

• Provide cost avoidance of future cash aid payments by moving TANF/GR recipients onto federal SSA disability benefits
•  Increase revenue recovery of cash aid payments through Interim Assistance Reimbursement (IAR) for individuals receiving General Relief payments. 
• Improve the state’s Work Participation Rate, helping to avoid federal penalties.
• Boost federal Medicare eligibility for low-income disabled individuals while decreasing state Medicaid expenditures. 
• Increase Medicaid eligibility for this same population, thereby decreasing uncompensated medical costs.
• Provide more financial stability to the individual through increased monthly cash aid (SSI/SSDI is generally more per month than TANF and/or GA)

The PCG Human Services Approach:

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.
