Veterans Help Group and the Veterans of Foreign Wars are teaming up to launch a new Social Security Disability Eligibility Screener.
The cutting-edge tool aims to empower veterans by simplifying the process for determining eligibility for Social Security Disability Insurance.
"Veterans have earned the right to every benefit available to them, yet many struggle to understand how Social Security disability might couple and supplement their VA disability compensation," said Joe Waring, CEO of Veterans Help Group.
The Social Security Disability Eligibility Screener is designed to address the unique challenges veterans face when researching disability benefits. By combining VHG's expertise in Social Security disability with VFW's extensive network and commitment to supporting its members, the initiative will provide veterans with a user-friendly, accessible resource to assess their eligibility for what can be an overlooked benefit.
The screener will feature an intuitive online interface, guiding users through a series of questions tailored to the Social Security disability process.
"The VFW is committed to standing by our veterans at every stage of their journey," said Mike Figlioli, director of VFW National Veterans Service. "By collaborating with Veterans Help Group on this screener, we're equipping our members and veterans everywhere with knowledge and resources they need to understand Social Security disability benefits, enhancing their quality of life and financial stability."
The screener became available to VFW members nationwide in late April, with educational workshops planned to help ensure widespread awareness and adoption. Veterans and their families are encouraged to contact their Veteran Service Officer for more information.
