Welcome to First Step Disability Services
First Step Disability Services (formerly First Step Benefits) is made up of highly experienced advocates, case managers and representatives that are dedicated to helping individuals that are chronically homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
We now offer organizational representative payee services for individuals that are unable to handle their own disability benefits.
OUR GOAL
Committed to the Cause
Our goal is to help individuals get their benefits as soon as possible. We will not drag our feet to prolong the process for a higher fee. Money for us is not a determining factor on whether we help an individual. In most cases, we are able to get the Social Security Administration or its subparts to expedite cases for those that are chronically homeless or at risk of losing their housing. We take this very seriously and will do all we can to get our clients decisions as soon as possible.
Open Arms
We also strive to help children with disabilities and individuals (adults and children) with learning disabilities.
