Interview Information from Allsup

Dear Mrs:
I am enclosing the information needed to complete the interview to process your Social Security disability claim. Your phone appointment with _____.
I have also included some additional information about the Customer Information Center and Quick Facts about Social Security disability insurance.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please call our Customer Information Center at 866-502-8372 if you have any questions.
Allsup Inc. Customer Information Center (CIC)
CIC is here to assist with your questions about the Social Security disability process. Often, your assigned representative is working behind the scenes making calls to the Social Security Administration or Disability Determination Services to take care of your case. Your representative may not always be available when you want to call Allsup Inc. with questions, but our CIC associates will help take care of your needs. Our associates can check the status of your claim, document your medical updates, and answer questions about forms, the claims process, and any letters you receive from the Social Security Administration or the Disability Determination Services. CIC associates work as a part of your assigned representative’s team to take care of any issues relating to your claim.
It is also important to call CIC if:
Your phone number or address changes
You return to work in any capacity
You have a medical update
The Social Security Administration or the Disability Determination Services requests information by mail or phone
You receive a decision, a check, or bank deposit
Quick Facts about SSDI
If approved, the Social Security Administration will pay benefits back to your date of entitlement. Your established onset date and/or date of filing determine your date of entitlement.
The Social Security Administration determines the onset date of your disability. This may differ from the date you last worked.
In most cases, there is a five-month waiting period after the established onset date before Social Security will pay your disability benefits.
In addition to your initial claim forms, the Social Security Administration and Disability Determination Services usually request additional information. If you receive requests for information by mail, contact our Customer Information Center. Any phone calls should be referred to Allsup Inc.
It is common for the Disability Determination Services to schedule a consultative exam. The exam is provided at no cost to you and is ordered when the disability office needs additional or more current information to make a determination. It is very important to attend any consultative exam that is scheduled.
