Registration Open For Free Virtual Event On Navigating Cancer And Employment, Allsup Explains
Cancer and Careers' 15th annual National Conference on Work & Cancer set for Friday, June 27, 2025, providing resources and education to patients, survivors and caregivers
Belleville, Illinois — June 17, 2025 —Allsup, a leading provider of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) representation, return to work and veterans disability appeals services, is proud to sponsor Cancer and Careers' 15th annual National Conference on Work & Cancer, scheduled for Friday, June 27, 2025. This free virtual event provides essential education and resources to individuals with cancer, their caregivers, healthcare professionals and advocates who support them in the workplace.
“Cancer and Careers is a powerful voice for individuals balancing employment after a cancer diagnosis,” said Terry J. Geist, Principal Advocate at Allsup.“By supporting Cancer and Careers, we help ensure that patients and survivors have access to a broad range of resources that complement our SSDI representation and return-to-work services, empowering them to navigate their employment challenges.”
With over 40 years of expertise, Allsup has effectively helped more than 400,000 individuals who have disabilities or severe health issues to secure SSDI benefits when their conditions restrict their ability to work. The SSDI experts at Allsup lead clients through the SSDI claims process, often a complex one, that can require multiple appeals with the Social Security Administration.
“As claimants get through a lengthy waiting period for approval—often spanning several months or longer-they can take advantage of Disability Financial Solutions®, an exclusive Allsup service designed to relieve financial concerns for SSDI claimants. DFS helps with concerns such as daily living expenses, credit card bills and healthcare needs,” Geist explained.
After receiving SSDI approval, beneficiaries considering a return to the workforce can benefit from the assistance offered by Allsup Employment Services (AES), a subsidiary of Allsup and a Social Security-authorized Employment Network. AES assigns a dedicated vocational expert to beneficiaries and offers free support and resources through the Ticket to Work Program.
This year’s conference will delve into a variety of topics critical to the cancer community, including balancing treatment and work, disclosure decisions, managing side effects in the workplace, and effective communication strategies. The conference is designed to equip attendees with the knowledge and resources needed to manage their careers through the cancer journey successfully.
Sessions will feature real-time closed captioning to ensure accessibility for all attendees, and continuing education credits will be available for nurses, social workers and HR professionals. For more information or to register for the virtual event, visit CancerAndCareers.org.
