Horrible service! I know organizations are short staffed, but they have no excuse for their horrible turn around time. Called and left several messages, played phone tag with someone for over a month and finally was able to talk to someone who told me “they probably aren’t calling you back because you didn’t complete an application online”. I literally called this company to understand their process. Real professional! Filled out online application, got response that it would be reviewed within 72 hours. 10 days later I finally got a call back ( two months after my first call to this company) to ask me the same questions I completed on their online application. Took my information and told me someone would review my information and email me next steps. Within one minute, I got an email saying I was decline because I make too much money. Which they obviously knew while on the phone and just couldn’t tell me then. Emailed back stating I just got an increase in pay and when I first called (two months ago) my pay was significantly less - still no response back. Don’t waste your time with this joke of a company. So unprofessional and absurd turn around time for anything. Wish there was a zero star.

They weren't unable to help me with my workman's comp claim and wanted a fee to refer me to someone who MIGHT be able to.

The best thing to do is call them and ask. You have to financially qualify for help.
