Belleville, Illinois, June 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allsup, a leading provider of Social Security Disability (SSDI) representation, return to work and veterans disability appeal services, is excited to sponsor the Conference 14th Annual National Cancer and Careers Conference on Jobs and Cancer, scheduled for Friday, June 21, 2024. This free virtual event brings together cancer patients, survivors, health care professionals, employers and advocates to discuss the challenges the many complexities that individuals face when navigating work after a cancer diagnosis.
“Cancer & Career embodies a true commitment to supporting individuals affected by cancer, whether they are managing their careers during or after their diagnosis,” said TJ Geist, Principal Attorney at Allsup. “Our continued partnership with Cancer and Careers has helped us better guide many cancer patients and survivors in navigating the complexities of securing SSDI benefits, along with subsequent assistance in rejoining the workforce through the Social Security Ticket to Work.”
With 40 years of expertise, Allsup has effectively helped more than 400,000 individuals who have disabilities or serious health problems, such as cancer, to secure SSDI benefits when their conditions limit their ability to work. The SSDI experts at Allsup are familiar with leading clients through the SSDI claims process, which is often lengthy and can require multiple appeals with the Social Security Administration.
“While claimants go through a long waiting period for approval – often involving several months or longer – they can benefit from Disability Financial Solutions®, an exclusive Allsup service designed to ease financial worries for SSDI claimants. DFS helps with concerns such as daily living expenses, credit card bills and health care needs,” Geist explained.
After receiving SSDI approval, beneficiaries who are considering returning to the workforce can take advantage of assistance provided by Allsup Employment Services (AES), an Allsup subsidiary and a Social Security-authorized Employment Network. AES assigns a dedicated case manager to beneficiaries and provides free support and resources through the Ticket to Work Program.
This year’s conference will delve into a variety of topics critical to the cancer community, including balancing treatment and work, disclosure decisions, managing side effects in the workplace, and effective communication strategies. The conference is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and resources needed to successfully manage their careers during the cancer journey.
In recognition of the digital divide, the event will also highlight the Technology Assistance Program (TAP), which aims to provide laptops to participants who might otherwise be unable to participate due to lack of access to technology. reliable.
Sessions will be closed-captioned in real-time to ensure access for all participants, and continuing education credits will be available for nurses, social workers and HR professionals. For more information or to register for the virtual event, visit CancerAndCareers.org.
