What Allsup does

Allsup, LLC is a Belleville, Illinois-based private professional services firm founded in 1984 by Jim Allsup after his tenure at the Social Security Administration. The company specializes in Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) representation, helping individuals with severe, long-term disabilities navigate initial applications, reconsideration, hearings, Appeals Council review, and Federal Court appeals. It has assisted more than 425,000 people, reporting a 97% success rate for claimants who complete the process and a 70% hearing-level approval rate versus a 50% national average. Beyond SSDI representation, the firm operates vertical sub-brands including Allsup Veterans Appeals (VA disability appeals), Allsup Employment Services (SSA Ticket to Work return-to-work assistance), Disability Financial Solutions (debt resolution, housing and utility assistance), Health Insurance Assistance (Medicare and Marketplace plan enrollment), and Allsup LLC (group benefits coordination). Underpinning these services is the proprietary "empower by Allsup" online platform, which provides secure, 24/7 case management and plain-language guidance alongside live expert support.

Allsup generates revenue primarily through SSA-regulated contingency fees that are only payable upon successful benefit approval, supplemented by fees from its add-on financial and insurance coordination services. The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer inside sales (phone, 800-678-3276) with a self-service online motion through empower, plus indirect channels including healthcare professional referrals, nonprofit and advocacy partnerships (Cancer and Careers, Invisible Disabilities Association), and a refer-a-friend program paying $100 per successful referral. Customer segments are diversified across generic SSDI claimants, veterans with service-connected conditions, and disease-specific populations such as cancer survivors, all acquired through both direct response and community-led channels. The firm is founder-led, has no disclosed external investment, and has been recognized as a USA TODAY Top Workplace for three consecutive years (2024-2026), indicating a stable, mature operating profile rather than a venture-backed growth posture.
