About Mindset Care, Inc.

Mindset was founded to create a better experience for those with a mental illness and their caregivers in applying for Social Security Disability benefits.

Our team of Social Security Disability lawyers and representatives has helped thousands of individuals through the arduous process of obtaining Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and/or Supplemental Security income (SSI) through the Social Security Administration.

Mindset helps people living with mental illness apply for Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits, including Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

Mindset is seeking an empathetic, detail-oriented Intake Specialist to serve as a trusted first point of contact for prospective clients. This role conducts structured phone assessments, gathers sensitive medical and employment information, explains the Social Security Disability (SSD) intake and application process—including SSI and SSDI—and maintains complete, accurate records.

Due to this being a remote role, you’ll need a reliable internet connection with speeds of at least 100 Mbps download and 30 Mbps upload, a comfortable place to work, and a backup plan for occasional internet outages.
