American disability representatives institute

For any consultations that are disability-related such as Immigration, Family ADA Compliance, IDEA-related, Reasonable Accommodations, or other disability-related matters, we have a $250 per-hour consultation arrangement for you to consider. Feel free to ask questions about services that are beyond the list offered on this website. 

In order to qualify for this service, the applicant has to be a U.S. Citizen and has to have at least 2-3 Medical Conditions that are considered as chronic in nature. The applicant’s illness/injury/developmental delays or conditions have to last for at least 12 months. Verification from a medical doctor is helpful, but not necessary. Keep medical records on hand. We only charge you when your claim is approved. We can assist you with filing, reconsideration, ALJ, Review Board, and the recertification process of your SSI/SSDI claims. 

While your federal disability is pending and you are in immediate need of income, (which may take years to get approved), we can assist you with federal benefits (TANF) if eligible. State disability grants benefits for a short period of time, while Federal disability benefits are for the long-term. We can help with temporary benefits until your federal benefits are approved. This includes but is not limited to Cash Assistance, SNAP, Housing Assistance, Medicaid, and other state-level benefits. This includes filing and fair hearing if denied for medical/eligibility reasons.

If you are a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or a refugee, we can help you receive SNAP Benefits. Applicants must have low income/no income in order to  qualify for SNAP (Food Stamps). We will help you and your family with the entire process, which includes filing and fair hearings. This may take about 2-6 months to get approved. 

Only certain eligible citizens or non-citizens can qualify for Medicaid, from the state they live in, if they have very limited income, resources, or both. We help you with your Medicaid eligibility, application, and appeal process, and overcome medicaid eligibility hardship, overpayment, and underpayment. Sometimes your income and your resources make you ineligible for Medicaid. Each state has its own separate Medicaid eligibility guidelines, and our experienced Medicaid consultants and legal advocates are always there to help you with your application and appeal process if your case is denied. We also assist with overpayment and underpayment issues.

People with disabilities go through many hardships and may need to seek assistance in areas that do not fall under our list of services. That is where our experienced team can still assist. We're working with lawyers from your state who are knowledgeable in various court hearings or legal consultations. They can help advise in areas where we cannot help. If legal help is required with outside lawyers/legal consultants, a separate and required fee agreement can be prepared.

Once your disability is approved, you may qualify for Low-Income Housing or a voucher issued by the federal Housing Authority, also known as Section 8. This process takes about 2 months to 2 Years. Our staff will accompany you through the entire process, and assist with all required paperwork. Once your case is approved, you will get reduced rent based on your household income.

Many immigrants do not speak, read, or write English due to their disability. With the addition of a cognitive impairment/disability, it becomes increasingly hard to understand a new language such as English. We recommend a medical analysis, and psychological evaluation through an established physician/psychologist. We can refer you to a medical professional, who can grant you a diagnosis that will help you achieve U.S. Citizenship.

Each year thousands of students become disabled due to no fault of their own. After acquiring a disability, it usually becomes increasingly harder to pay for student loans, and that is where we are here to assist. Students with a disability may apply for student loan forgiveness, when their disability has been approved. We will guide you through the process, this Including help with paperwork and going to meetings with government officials. All of your student loans will be forgiven as soon as your case is approved. 

If you are injured in an accident due to no fault of your own, you may be eligible for no-fault disability benefits for three years. You do not have to be a legal resident of the US to qualify for no-fault disability benefits, which are temporary. During the time you are disabled, you will receive benefits from your insurance company. We will assist with all necessary paperwork, and help send them to your company. We need your treating physician's information and proof of employment to file a claim. We will work with an external lawyer to collect your medical records to assist with your disability claim/medical case. 

Every union member can apply for union disability benefits via their union if they are injured or have acquired an illness. In order to make sure you are approved for your union disability benefits, you have to present your union brochure to us. On your behalf, we apply for your benefits, go to all necessary meetings with your union representatives, and present in front of the medical review board. 

Most war veterans become disabled during the time they serve the country, and we are here to help our veterans get the partial or total disability benefits they deserve. We will collect medical records, analyze your medical disability, and may send you to additional clinics if necessary. We can also convert your partial disability to total disability, all on your behalf.

Most people purchase a private disability insurance policy from a major insurance company and pay a monthly premium, similar to life insurance policies. When you cannot work, you are eligible to file a claim with your private insurance company. We will assist you with the filing process and all other due processes so you may receive benefits while recovering. Make sure you keep all your medical records for filing. Once approved, you may be able to collect from your private disability insurance policy for a short or long period of time, depending on your severity of illness or injury. Please send us your disability policy handbook to us, so we can help. There is often an offset time of 30-90 days, so it is crucial that you apply as soon as possible.Thankfully, all other disability benefits can be filed simultaneously.

If you happen to be injured at the workplace, an excellent lawyer is needed to win your case. As legal assistance is beyond our reach, our excellent lawyers from UMA Legal Aid Society are always available to assist you with your claim. We can assist you with your short-term or long-term disability claims with the Worker’s Compensation Board (WC) of your state. With our help, you can receive disability benefits while you are under the care of your treating therapist/physician. We just need all written proof of payments you have made when filing your disability claims, and we will collect medical records from your treating physician or lawyer, to apply for your disability claim. Once approved, your monthly benefits may be worth up to 80% of your income from your employer. So, make sure you keep records of written proof of payments you have made.

When children become adults, parents find themselves unable to make decisions for their adult child with disabilities. It is wise for parents to decide in advance whether they should seek assistance if they believe their child cannot manage their day-to-day life alone. Legal guardianship often becomes necessary to stay on top of all the daily needs of a parent’s special needs child. We can help you get legal guardianship of your disabled child if they are mentally unable to manage their financial matters, ADLs, independent living situations, etc.

If your disability case is denied and you pass 60 days without appealing, often agencies will ask you to re-apply. We can help you appeal a case after 60 days or help you reopen an old case you filed a few months/years ago, which can make you eligible for services from your previous application date. Feel free to contact us so we can reopen your old case.

Children with disabilities/developmental delays such as Autism, PDD, Cognitive Delays, Physical Delays, and other illnesses may need therapy, special education, and psychological evaluations to qualify for educational and therapeutic services to overcome disabilities and delays/developmental milestones. We often assist parents by attending with them as their advocate to help them get all the services they need such as reasonable accommodations, in-home therapies, in-school therapies, and teacher assistants/paraprofessionals, and ask for additional help for the student to accomplish their academic goals in school settings. Often, parents are not happy with what they receive from the Board of Education settings. We can assist you with the negotiation process, and educate you about your rights, and due process if those rights are violated according to state/federal law.

Providers/Employers: Private, public, or non-profit service providers ask for regulatory issues that often force them to comply with the American with Disability Act and 504 regulatory compliances. As both are federal-level guidelines, in order to participate with the government, contracts, to qualify as a service provider, or to be licensed by the local or state or federal agencies, service providers must follow all local, state, and federal rules in order to be active providers of services to people with disabilities. Our expert consultants can assist you from filing, site visit, and all of your ongoing audit issues that can improve the quality of services that your institution provides. Please contact us if you need a consultation for the following services, as it is very important for you to stay agile and competitive. 

Individuals/Families: If you are are an employee who has a disability, and is in need of assistance to fight back as a victim of discrimination, or if your employer is refusing to offer disability-related accommodations that should be within reasonable range/capacity, we can help you stay at work with all your demands met. If your situation falls under Section 504, we are here to help. Please contact us immediately so we can assess to see if you have a case against your employer or service provider.
