Christina's Story
Larry's Story
I've had the pleasure of working alongside and collaborating with Elizabeth Horn for the better part of a decade. Elizabeth's understanding of complex Social Security eligibility and maintenance requirements is unparalleled, and her personal and professional experience with specific disability populations (including people with autism, dementia, traumatic brain injury, and mental health needs) makes her uniquely qualified to meet people wherever they're at on their journey. She has a remarkable ability to facilitate accessible and person-centered communication and to navigate key transition points such as leaving high school, returning to work, and entering long-term care. However, her extensive knowledge of Medicaid, Medicare, ABLE accounts, special needs trusts, vocational rehabilitation, home and community based services (HCBS) waivers, work incentives, and other specialized programs truly sets her apart as a Social Security benefits planner. After working with Elizabeth, people with disabilities, their families, and their providers always leave feeling confident and prepared to tackle whatever challenges lay ahead!

I cannot overstate how very helpful your assistance has been. Although I have a law degree, the Social Security regulations are a labyrinth, and I have been discouraged in every attempt to navigate them. Thanks to your intervention, I now have a way forward to obtaining basic financial protections for my son. Although there is obviously a long way to go, I am exceedingly grateful for your help in the crucial first steps.

I know the options that I presented are non-traditional, and you were eager to think outside the box and collaborate to build success. Your willingness to help makes me hopeful about my sons' futures. I want to use programs that can support them while they build a life that feeds their soul. It is rare to find providers who help me to stretch the boundaries of support in this way. I won't ever forget our conversation and the hopeful path that you pointed me on.

I needed guidance in understanding the Social Security disability benefit based on a parent’s record when they retire. Our son is on the autism spectrum and we were trying to determine if he would be eligible for this benefit. Elizabeth’s help was immeasurable. Her warm and friendly tone was the beginning of her thorough research into my son’s situation with Social Security. She always returned my calls in a prompt and professional manner. She did not cease communicating with us until we were satisfied with the outcome of our research into this special benefit for adult children with disabilities. She referred us to other beneficial resources to follow up on our decisions. Even today, Elizabeth continues to be a valued resource in helping us navigate our son's Social Security benefits as he ages and has different work experiences.

I have been fortunate to consult with Elizabeth regarding Social Security disability issues for 4 years. During this time, consultations with Elizabeth have been invaluable to myself and my clients. I learn something new about the process during every virtual consultation and am always better able to help my client better document their claim or resolve their issue. In several circumstances I have contacted Elizabeth after a consultation for more assistance. Elizabeth has been able to refer me or connect me with resources to assist my clients in their fight to obtain these benefits. Elizabeth makes a long-complicated process easier. Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable and able to share information in a way people can understand. She also follows up with a detailed summary of the conversation with recommendations. If you are struggling with social security disability, I highly recommend a consultation with Elizabeth.

I want to thank Elizabeth Horn for assisting my brother who is completely deaf and was applying for disability. If it had not been for her intervention as well as Congresswoman Wexton's office, my brother would be homeless. The compassion that was shown towards my brother and myself as well as the urgency of contacting the Social Security office was above and beyond the normal turnaround time of other state or government offices. Ms. Horn was diligent and continued to follow up with every contact she knew to ensure that my brother was put in touch with the correct people in order to get his case active and processed. My brother had suffered two strokes prior to applying for disability and the amount of stress he was under before Ms. Horn's assistance was extremely high. Ms. Horn was able to provide professional and compassionate aid that will never be forgotten by me and my brother. Ms. Horn's professionalism is a true testament of what integrity and compassion for people with disabilities looks like. We will forever be in her debt.

My dad who is 95 beams a huge grin when I ask him to talk about Elizabeth. Then he says, "She holds a special place in my heart and in your Mom's." Mom is gone now, but for over 40 years Elizabeth has guided our family through the complicated federal and state programs that we never imagined we would need to navigate. The disability benefit review process for SSDI or SSI is especially filled with pitfalls. In 1982 my family found ourselves in need of Elizabeth's strategic expertise and knowledge when my brother Tommy suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) . Over the ensuing years Elizabeth made sure his benefits continued at every review, even when he was able to work for a short period of time. She is a highly respected member of the brain injury advocacy community. Her unique combination of compassion, experience and grit make her the perfect individual to help your family. She's always been there for us and for Tommy and we'll be forever grateful.
