IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0First Step Disability Services was implemented to help men and women with severe disabilities access Social Security Disability Income (SSI) and Medicaid. Prior to First Step Disability Services, only 19% of homeless people who applied for disability were approved. In contrast, over 80% of First Step's clients are approved and in an average of 12-24 months (compared to 3 - 5 years in Georgia). Over the last 4 years First Step Disability Services has secured approximately $3,000,000 in retroactive benefits and almost $200,000 in recurring monthly benefits.
