CIGNA To Use Social Security Disability Consultants

NU Online News Service, May 29, 1:43 p.m. – CIGNA Corp., Philadelphia, has hired Allsup Inc., Belleville, Ill., and Advantage 2000 Consultants, St. Louis, to help it assist severely disabled disability insurance claimants with applications for Social Security benefits.

Many disability insurance policies contain provisions that enable insurers to reduce their own, private benefits payments once Social Security begins sending out disability benefits checks. But people who are disabled often have a difficult time going through the slow, confusing disability benefits application process on their own.
