February 9 - 10, 2010 SOAR (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery) Registration
 

1. What is SOAR?

 
SOAR (SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access and Recovery) is a federal initiative sponsored by the multiple agencies in collaboration with the Social Security Administration. It provides case managers with the tools they need to assist homeless persons who were mentally ill to access Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) at the earliest possible juncture of the application process.

Through SSI/SSDI outreach and assistance, initial approval rates can soar to 60-95% of applicants -- without appeals!
