COMPASSIONATE  ALLOWANCES

COMPASSIONATE ALLOWANCE (CAL)

Social Security program that fast-tracks disability benefits for people with severe medical conditions that meet SSA’s strict criteria

COMPASSIONATE ALLOWANCES allow people with extremely severe medical conditions to qualify for Social Security Disability benefits more quickly. Fast processing is the compassion in Compassionate Allowances. If your illness is on the SSA's approved list and your medical records confirm the diagnosis, your SSDI claim may be fast-tracked for approval. To qualify, you must have a listed condition, provide strong medical documentation, and prove you can’t work. The SSDI CAL program helps those facing serious health challenges get financial support without long waiting times.
