She was trying to help her husband and had no idea where to start.
Anna was doing her best to get benefits for her disabled husband, but she was stuck. Fortis helped them file, kept them informed of every step, and got him approved.
Most families come to us exhausted - buried in forms, waiting on a denial letter, or watching a parent struggle to navigate it alone. One call puts a dedicated case manager on their claim, so you can stop being the project manager and go back to being family.
No fee unless the claim wins. No consultation fee, ever.
The system isn't built for first-timers. A dedicated case manager helps make sure nothing is missed.
About half of hearings end in approval (SSA, FY 2025). If you've been denied, you generally have 60 days from receiving the letter to appeal.
Our fee is regulated by SSA and only paid out of back-pay if the claim is approved. Zero risk to your family's finances to get started.
A clear, four-step process from first call to ongoing representation.
We listen - diagnosis, work history, where the claim stands today. No pressure, no forms yet. Just a clear picture of what's going on.
We tell you honestly whether we can help and what the path looks like. If we're not the right fit, we'll point you toward what is.
One named case manager is assigned to your family member's claim. You'll have their direct line. No call centers, no rotating staff.
They work directly with your family member. You stay looped in on every update - but you're no longer the one chasing records, forms, or deadlines.
