Nonprofit &
Advocacy Groups

We support many nonprofit and advocacy groups like yours to help people with disabilities in your community. We focus on getting these individuals the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits they deserve and assist them in using these benefits to go back to work, if possible. Through your referrals and with our training, educational workshops and resource materials, together we can create a positive outcome.

SSDI Literacy Is Important To Your Organization

For people with mental illness, a chronic condition or severe injury, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can mean the difference between being a homeowner or being homeless; getting needed medicines and healthcare or getting progressively worse; eating three meals a day or going hungry.

All too often, individuals are denied benefits or must wait years before they receive benefits. This often long waiting period is frequently spent with no income, no healthcare, and endless worry about their and their families’ future. SSDI and the benefits it provides can bring relief. We can help your group with advocacy and education through the Post for a Purpose® program. Contact us to learn more.

In Perspective: The Disability Landscape

According to a recent study, the number of people with disabilities in need of long-term care is expected to grow dramatically as baby boomers reach retirement age and beyond.

A person reaching age 56 has a 53% chance of having at least one disabling event during his or her working years, and a 19% chance of experiencing chronic and severe disability.

10 years after disability onset, a person with a chronic and a severe disability on average experiences a 68% decline in earnings, a 32% decline in after-tax income and a 22% decline in food and housing consumption.
